PALMDALE – Due to staffing changes, green waste collections will occur every other week in Palmdale beginning the week of Dec. 21 and going through the week of Jan. 11, according to an announcement from the city of Palmdale and Waste Management of Antelope Valley.

Regular trash and recyclable collections will not change.

The collection schedule for the next four weeks will be as follows:

— Week of Dec. 21: Trash and recyclables will be collected. There will be no green waste collection. Residents with Friday collections will have their collection day on Saturday in observance of Christmas Day.

— Week of Dec. 28: Trash, recyclables, and green waste will be collected. Residents with Friday collections will have their collection day on Saturday in observance of New Year’s Day.

— Week of Jan. 4: Trash and recyclables will be collected. There will be no green waste collection.

— Week of Jan. 11: Trash, recyclables, and green waste will be collected.

“This is a temporary change to ensure we continue to provide critical trash collection service to our Palmdale customers,” said Sandra Pursley, Regional Manager for Waste Management. “All other services will continue as scheduled.”

“We ask for your patience as we make temporary adjustments to your collection schedule,” said Palmdale City Manager, JJ Murphy. “Please download the Recycle Coach app or go to our website to keep up to date with your collection schedule and to receive updates on any changes.”

Residents are encouraged to download the Recycle Coach app through their Apple or Google app store or to go to https://cityofpalmdale.org/173/Environmental-Technology to get up to date information or reminders about their collection schedule.

  1. Their in need of drivers, what else would cause this…if they didnt offer new hires Mcdonalds starting pay they would get more experienced drivers. $18.91 to start is an insult to a Job this dangerous…

  2. Just in time foot leaf season.

    I’m sure a reduction of costs of service will reflect on our upcoming bills.

  3. To clarify, Palmdale and Lancaster are on opposite week schedules with the exception of a few select areas.

  5. This is the opposite of what the City of Lancaster has posted on it’s website:

    Week of December 21: Trash, recyclables, and green waste will be collected (residents with Friday collections will have their collection day on Saturday in observance of Christmas Day).
    Week of December 28: Trash and recyclables will be collected, no green waste collections (residents with Friday collections will have their collection day on Saturday in observance of New Year’s Day).
    Week of January 4: Trash, recyclables, and green waste will be collected
    Week of January 11: Trash and recyclables will be collected, no green waste collections.

    • This is because the one WM yard services both Palmdale & Lancaster. Lancaster’s greenwaste will be done on the weeks Palmdale isn’t, and vice versa.
