News release from the City of Fort Wayne:<\/p>\n

Garbage and\/or Recycling Collection Days Changing for Some Residents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (November 12, 2024) \u2013 GFL is working with the City of Fort Wayne\u2019s Solid Waste Department to implement a rerouting schedule that will result in a change of garbage and\/or recycling collection days for approximately 25% of customers. The new routes will begin on December 2, 2024.<\/p>\n

Over the past several weeks, GFL and the Solid Waste Department have met with the four area neighborhood partnerships and had discussions with the City Council members whose districts will be impacted the most due to the changes in collection days. The meetings resulted in positive dialogue and feedback and gave GFL and the Solid Waste Department comfort in moving ahead with the new routes.<\/p>\n

City residents may look up their garbage and recycling days at https:\/\/garbagerecyclelookup.cityoffortwayne.org<\/a> to determine if their collection day(s) will change. Residents impacted by the change will also receive information in the mail from GFL.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2022, GFL offered to step in quickly and begin collection services using the routes already in place. Over the last two years of providing excellent service to Fort Wayne residents, they\u2019ve gathered the information needed to identify ways to make routes more efficient.<\/p>\n
