City Takes Over Recycling Collections

The city will take over recycling collection service from Waste Management of Carolinas Inc., beginning on Monday, April 3. The current recycling collection schedules will remain in place, said Helen Peplowski, the city’s sustainability program manager.

“Staff will be able to work more closely with residents to address those materials that don’t belong in recycling collections,” Peplowski said. “The education effort, over time, should not only reduce contamination but provide the city with savings.”

 The city had contracted with Waste Management of Carolinas Inc. since 1991 for residential recycling. 

Residents who want to confirm their collection schedule and check for upcoming holidays can download the Winston-Salem Collects app, which is free for Apple or Android users. The online version, available at CityofWS.org/Sanitation and CityofWs.org/Recycling, offers all the features available through the app plus the ability to print personalized collection calendars that include holiday collection changes.
