-For the next two weeks, commingled recycling will be picked up Citywide. The week of January 16 is a holiday week for the Dr. Martin Luther King observance.
-The alternating schedule will resume on Wednesday, January 25 with paper pickup.
A replacement calendar will be included in the City newsletter and mailed to all homes later this month. In the meantime, view it online at www.newrochelleny.com/DPW

New Rochelle is one of 25 municipalities awarded grants through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Climate Smart Communities Grant program.
