Four Meetings Scheduled to Learn About Rockville's Recycling and Refuse Program

Rockville will implement the final phases of its once-per-week, semi-automated, curbside collection system before the end of the year. Approximately 7,400 homes in Phase 1 and 2 are already part of the new system and another 6,500 will transition to it during the coming months. Phase 3 will begin the week of September 28 and Phase 4 will begin the week of December 7. Four meetings have been scheduled in September to help residents in Phase 4 learn about the program and what can be recycled, as well as to help them choose what size recycling and refuse carts they need. Meetings were held for each of the previous phases. The meetings for Phase 4 are as follows: Tuesday, Sept. 22, 7-9 p.m., New Mark Commons Club House, 603 Tegner Way Saturday, Sept. 26, 1-4 p.m., Rockville Swim and Fitness Center, 355 Martins Lane Monday, Sept. 28, 7-9 p.m., Thomas Farm Community Center, 700 Fallsgrove Drive Tuesday, Sept. 29, 7-9 p.m., Rockville Senior Center, 1150 Carnation Drive Certain components of recycling and refuse collection, such as bulky item collection and the holiday schedule, will change.
