ALHAMBRA – ColoradoBoulevard.net:
On March 13, 2023, the Alhambra City Council voted unanimously to reinstate weekly bulky item sweep services with Republic Services, in an effort to help keep Alhambra clean of bulky items and illegal dumping.
By News Desk
Despite outreach efforts on the new bulky item collection policy and requirements for scheduled pick-ups, illegal dumping continues to be a frequent complaint throughout Alhambra. Illegal dumping deteriorates the overall quality and appearance of neighborhoods and endangers the health and wellbeing of residents and pedestrians.
The Alhambra Council’s reinstatement of the program eliminates the need for residents to pre-schedule bulky item pick-ups. and includes commercial bulky item pick-ups on regular collection days. Residential, multi-family, and commercial service rates will increase, depending on container size and number of collections per week, by an estimated $1.67 – $21.37 per month, effective April 1, 2023.
Residents and businesses can place bulky items on the curb beside solid waste containers on regular collection days, and Republic will handle the rest. Illegal dumping should continue to be reported to Republic Services at alhambra@republicservices.com or 1-800-299-4898.

Why cant the city and the garbage company just inform residents to call when there’s bulky items. They come and take it away, no problem. Now rates going up for all because people too lazy to call.
Excellent! Glad to hear this is. Hope we don’t have to see items sitting on curbs and sidewalks going forward.
