Marysville: Some garbage days change The city of Marysville is changing some garbage pickup routes and days, effective July 1. A recent study by the city showed that changing some routes could cut fuel and maintenance costs on trucks by reducing miles driven. Pickup crews will tape notices on the lids of customers' cans if their pickup day is going to change. Customers will be notified by June 26, on their last collection day prior to the change. Waste Management NW is working with the city to ensure that curbside recycling and yard waste are picked up on the same day as regular garbage. If the switch in days causes a can to be missed, city crews will pick up the missed can at no extra charge. More info: Terry Hawley at 360-363-8161 or e-mail thawley@marysvillewa.gov.
