Did we miss anything?
Hope you were able to find everything you need for the El Paso trash pickup schedule. We strive to provide the most up to date information so please let us know if you need anything else.
Your website is not user friendly. I put in my address to check my recycle pickup date, and it didn’t find my address?!
I then go to see if you have a calendar for recycle schedule, and it says “here is the link” but there is no link. Wow!
I am having the same problem as that listed previously on November 30th, 2022. It’s now January 18th, 2023 and the problem still exists.
I seem to have displaced the flyer detailing which days have recycling pick-up, but it’s impossible to obtain that information from your website.
The schedule has been corrected. Thank you for your patience.
