Modern Disposal will begin refuse pickup in the city Oct. 10, officials confirmed Monday.I am very curious to see how much of my trash will be recycle related. I also look forward to replacing my aging cans which I have been holding off on replacing in anticipation of the new system.Two more weeks left to "clean house".
Delivery of 17,000 refuse and recycling carts to all residential and some commercial properties will start next week, Dawn Timm, the city’s refuse and recycling adviser, said. Cascade Engineering is bringing the carts to Lockport in nine tractor trailers on Friday; GM Components is allowing its west plant to be used as an assembly area where wheels and lids will be installed on the carts. From there, finished carts will be delivered to city homes and businesses Monday pickup route first, then Tuesday route and so on.
That’ll take an expected 10 to 12 days, and by the time the Friday-route carts are delivered, Modern will already be at work picking up people’s refuse and recyclables....

Welcome
"What unites us is more important than what divides us." Welcome to the Lockport NY discussion blog. An idea grown out of the old LUSJ forums aimed at giving a permanent home to discussions on renewal, investment, growth and preservation toward creating a great place to live. Topics pertaining to the city and town of Lockport NY, headlines from the Lockport Journal/Buffalo News along with diverging views on them are welcomed and encouraged. If you have your own Lockport-centric blog, let me know. I'll happily link to it and participate. Want a topic addressed and opened for comment? Send me an email. -MJ

As per Buffalo News article on 9/28:
“For the first several weeks, residents and businesses will be able to dispose of additional materials outside of their carts” to provide ample time to adjust to the new system, Pasceri said.
I wonder if they will be letting us know what "additional materials" we will be allowed to put out before getting fined or needing to purchase extra bags and for how many weeks we will be allowed to this.
Not sure. Although the idea seems nice, it does appear to possibly just shift the confusion down the road. We'll see how they communicate it.
"?????"
is this working?????
yup
