RED OAK – Come the new year residents in Red Oak will have a new trash and recycling company.

The Red Oak City Council unanimously voted back in October to give the job to Community Waste Disposal, a local Ellis County company.

The new service for both residential and commercial trash and recycling services will both be taken care of in the new year by CWD.

New trash and recycling carts will be delivered Dec. 18 and 19 in preparation for the transition.

Current recycling and trash bins must be left at the curb by residents no later than 7 a.m. Dec. 18.

The current company handling trash and recycling in Red Oak, Waste Connections will offer its last service days on Dec. 26 and

27.

Staff recommended this new service with a twice-weekly trash pick-up option.

Council did however vote to continue a once a week trash pick-up option as is currently offered in the City of Red Oak through the new company’s service.

No word yet on pick-up days during the week for the new trash and recycling services.
