The Waste Management of the Inland Empire's curbside residential trash and recycling and commercial pick-up schedule will be delayed by one day beginning on Thursday, November 28, and through the remainder of the week in observance of Thanksgiving. Customers who receive service on Thursday are being asked to place their carts out for service on Friday, and those who receive service on Friday should place their carts out on Saturday. All Waste Management customers in the following cities who receive service on Thursdays and Fridays will receive service one day later than usual Thanksgiving week. • Beaumont • Banning • Chino • Corona • Eastvale • Jurupa Valley • Menifee • Moreno Valley • Murrieta • Norco • Wildomar • Communities in unincorporated Riverside County and San Bernardino County. All local Waste Management operations will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 28, with normal operations resuming on Friday, Nov. 29. With holiday planning underway, Waste Management would like to share a few eco-friendly tips to green this holiday season: • Buy locally grown food: Locally grown food travels fewer miles, thereby using less fuel, and that's good for the environment. It also contributes more to your local economy by supporting local farmers and merchants. • Use reusable bags when shopping for your holiday meal: By using reusable bags, you extend the availability of our limited natural resources. • Right-size your feast: Plan ahead and prepare a delicious meal that satisfies without leftovers that go to waste. • Reduce, recycle: Use cloth napkins and utensils that can be washed and used over and over. Purchase only as much as you need, and select products that have less packaging or can be recycled to reduce the overall amount of waste you may produce. Set up a specially marked recycling container to collect aluminum cans and plastic bottles so that they don't end up in the trash.
