   Garbage carts will soon be placed at each household within the unincorporated areas of Marion County for the new, roadside, residential garbage service that will begin on Monday, October 2. Residents are asked to continue to use the county dumpsters until their first collection date.
   The pick-up day for each residence will remain the same each week. All carts will have an information notice attached describing the collection procedure including the collection day for each residence.
   The contractor, Trans Waste Services, LLC will be handling the collection from their Americus office. All customer service questions, including missed pick-ups, should be directed to their office, toll free at 1-888-924-3669.
   The collection trucks will run routes Monday through Friday of each week beginning on October 2. Carts should be placed at the roadside from 7 a.m.. until 7 p.m. on collection day. If carts are not at roadside by the time the garbage truck arrives, it will indicate that no service is needed, and the cart will be serviced on the next regular collection day.
   Collection bins for the disposal of old furniture will be provided at Public Works behind the County Jail.
   If you have not received your cart by September 29, please call 1-888-924-3669.
