Reduction of staff will cause routes to be run differently each day

Sumner Newscow report — In order to reduce operational costs in the Sanitation Utility Fund, the City of Wellington is having to reduce staffing in both the Sanitation Collection and Transfer Station/Landfill departments. This should not result in a decrease in the level of service we provide, and refuse will continue to be collected on your scheduled day.  However, our crews will be running the routes differently each day to identify the most efficient way to complete the service. This may result in your trash being picked up in the morning one week and in the afternoon the following week.

The City of Wellington Sanitation Department is asking that our customers have their trash out by 6 a.m. on their scheduled day.  If after 5 p.m, your trash has not been picked up please call 620-326-7831 the following day.
