With ~Imost four times the capacity o~f the 18-gallon bins ~ currently used, the new carts offer residents room for ' ~ additianal recycling ~nd the convenience of ralling the cart to curbside. They also have the added ad~antage of an attached lid, keeping material~ from bCowing away or gettir~g w~t in inclemer~t +rreather. IESI, the city"s trash and recyel~ collect~ion provider, will deliver the carts to Calleyville househalds Oct. 22 thraugh Nov, 2, R,esidents can keep their bins for personal use or, from Oct. 31 through Nav. 4, the bins ean be disposed of by placing them at the curb on a normally scheduled recyc~e day for IESI to pick up. After Now. 4, only the IESI 65-galion wheeled carts can be used far coiiecting recyclables. SGhedule Ghanges An automated co~lection truck will be used ta collect recyclables from the new carts. The truck will service the entire city, requiring a change ta the current pick-up days for trash and recycling for some customers. Trash service will continue to be twice per week and recycle s~rvice will cont~nue to be picked up once a week-but the collection day for many residents will change. (See m,ap fflr new schedule.} New trash and r~cvclinn schedule - faokuo bv street name Rate Change - - - - - iResedential customers will see a$1.15 mant~hly incr~ease on statements recefved in December. The new rate for residential trash and recycle seruice will be $9.60 an~i $3.1~ 6, respecti+rely, bringing the total monthly fee for these services to $1Z,76 (plus tax). Benefits to the New Program Histancally, cities using the larger carts have seen a 50% or more increase in recycling valume. Since part of IES~'s annual rat~ incr~ase request is tied to landfill disposaf casts dir~ctly related to the amount of material disposed of, an increase in recycliu~g will help reduce landfill material and potentially will reduce the amount of any future increases, Colleyville"s already high recy~cling rate indicates that prnviding mare capacity to recycle should lower the city's trash volume. In addition, as pert of contract negokiations far the new cecycle program, the city has extended its contract with IESI. That ext~nsion requires IESI to forego ~ny residential rat~e adjustments until Nov. 1, 2014, vsrith limited exceptions for increases in the Consumer Pric~ Index (CPI).

The church, Pleasarat Run Baptist, was organized in 1877 in the shade of a I~rge oak tree and was the first church in present-day Colleyville.
