Irving's Solid Waste Services implemented a change to its collection schedule on October 1st of this year. All trash, recycling, brush and bulky collections are performed once per week on the same day.
According to Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer, the changes were necessary to address industry staffing shortages and to help crews with manageable collections.
In the following video, Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer discusses what led to the updates and thanks residents for their patience with the changes.
