COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Coldwater City Manager Keith Baker said in his report during Monday’s City Council meeting there was a 33 percent increase in the number of large items picked up at the curb by Republic Waste Services in 2021 compared to the previous year.
He said Republic picked up 3,830 large items last year which was an average of over 73 items per week City wide.
The heaviest weeks are in the early Spring and Summer with less items collected during the Winter months.
Baker says this continues to be a valuable and well used service and helps keep up the overall appearance of the community.
He points out it also helps in code enforcement when city staff can explain that there is a way in which to dispose of large items at no additional expense.
Items are collected for City residents each Friday. Residents can request a pick up by either calling 279-9501 or online at www.coldwater.org.
