The days of blue plastic recycling bags and store-bought trash cans soon will be over.
Starting Monday, Kenosha officially enters the era of automated trash and recycling pick-up with 32,687 pairs of 95-gallon carts — two apiece for city households — tan for garbage, blue for recyclables.

I think that the city should have given the residents of Kenosha the right to decide whether or not if they would want these trash containers. I don't think that they thought these thing through, especially when it come to the senior citizens of Kenosha and how they're suppose to take them to and from their backyard. Also as to how they're suppose to get them out in the winter!
I think that they need to use that hat rack that they call a brain before they make decisions before asking the people if they want them or not. Besides who is going to clean them and how are the going to keep the smell, the rodents and other animals out if them?

When you’re a teenager, summer vacation fun doesn’t usually involve picking up trash at local beaches and along inner-city streets.
Yet but for some Kenosha Unified School District students this summer, it didn’t seem like a bad thing.

American Beverage Association has selected Kenosha to receive $520,000 under its Every Bottle Back Initiative to improve the collection and recycling of plastic bottles.
The award is to help the city during its transition to an automated system that has residents using 96-gallon carts to collect unbagged recyclables such as glass and plastic bottles, aluminum, steel and tin cans as well as newspapers, magazines and cardboard.

The City of Kenosha has begun rolling out new trash and recycling carts for residents as it moves to an automated “single-stream” collection service city-wide, beginning the week of Aug. 24.
An early roll-out began in mid-July in some neighborhoods.

Seven months ago, John Morrissey found himself working for the city of Kenosha as part-time director for its newly created inspections department.
Morrissey, 57, had come out of a three-year retirement following 28 years in law enforcement, the last nine of those as chief of police. Last month, the City Council approved his appointment to lead, not just one department, but all the departments housed at City Hall. He officially took over as city administrator on June 22, replacing Randy Hernandez, who left to join his son in a new business venture after just a year in the position.

Kenosha’s trash collection is extremely reliable, they come to my house ever Thursday, rain, shine, or snow. And when there’s a holiday, they work Saturday to get back on schedule.
How much money could be saved if we followed Racine’s example and eliminated Saturday collection after a holiday? In Racine, when there is a holiday, they do not work Saturday to get back on schedule; everyone’s trash collection is deferred one day. This means an every Thursday collection becomes an every Friday collection, until the next holiday.

The days of blue plastic recycling bags and store-bought trash cans soon will be over.
Starting Monday, Kenosha officially enters the era of automated trash and recycling pick-up with 32,687 pairs of 95-gallon carts — two apiece for city households — tan for garbage, blue for recyclables.

I think that the city should have given the residents of Kenosha the right to decide whether or not if they would want these trash containers. I don't think that they thought these thing through, especially when it come to the senior citizens of Kenosha and how they're suppose to take them to and from their backyard. Also as to how they're suppose to get them out in the winter!
I think that they need to use that hat rack that they call a brain before they make decisions before asking the people if they want them or not. Besides who is going to clean them and how are the going to keep the smell, the rodents and other animals out if them?

When you’re a teenager, summer vacation fun doesn’t usually involve picking up trash at local beaches and along inner-city streets.
Yet but for some Kenosha Unified School District students this summer, it didn’t seem like a bad thing.

American Beverage Association has selected Kenosha to receive $520,000 under its Every Bottle Back Initiative to improve the collection and recycling of plastic bottles.
The award is to help the city during its transition to an automated system that has residents using 96-gallon carts to collect unbagged recyclables such as glass and plastic bottles, aluminum, steel and tin cans as well as newspapers, magazines and cardboard.

The City of Kenosha has begun rolling out new trash and recycling carts for residents as it moves to an automated “single-stream” collection service city-wide, beginning the week of Aug. 24.
An early roll-out began in mid-July in some neighborhoods.

Seven months ago, John Morrissey found himself working for the city of Kenosha as part-time director for its newly created inspections department.
Morrissey, 57, had come out of a three-year retirement following 28 years in law enforcement, the last nine of those as chief of police. Last month, the City Council approved his appointment to lead, not just one department, but all the departments housed at City Hall. He officially took over as city administrator on June 22, replacing Randy Hernandez, who left to join his son in a new business venture after just a year in the position.

Kenosha’s trash collection is extremely reliable, they come to my house ever Thursday, rain, shine, or snow. And when there’s a holiday, they work Saturday to get back on schedule.
How much money could be saved if we followed Racine’s example and eliminated Saturday collection after a holiday? In Racine, when there is a holiday, they do not work Saturday to get back on schedule; everyone’s trash collection is deferred one day. This means an every Thursday collection becomes an every Friday collection, until the next holiday.
