Help spread the word that only the new green trash containers will be picked up in the City of Lytle.
“Waste Management is telling us that due to the COVID-19 outbreak at their company, they will not have the old truck out anymore. Which means only the new truck will be picking up garbage this week, so only the new green cans will be picked up. None of the customers’ own trash cans will be picked up this week. We are encouraging people to call for an additional new container if needed, ASAP. Your help with this will be greatly appreciated,” said Josie Campa, City Secretary, Lytle.
