- Mandates enforced by Waste Connections Solid Waste Management for City of Mineral Wells:
Currently they are requiring all residential trash be bagged and tied, and limiting residential bulky waste collection to 2 cubic yards. Any loose, bulk, or brush bundles placed outside of carts will not be collected, in order to minimize the risk of exposure through manual collection or “pickup by hand.” These changes in service are the result of Waste Connections moving into Phase III operations in response to COVID-19 and are anticipated to last through May 1, 2020.
