Street Trash Can Collection

Curbside Trash Pickup Proposal

The City of Dallas is once again moving to change our area to curbside trash pickup starting in January. This change is being pursued to reduce labor costs, but it would negatively affect Vickery Place in several ways:

• Most homes lack a discreet space for storing bins in the front yard.
• Many residents do not have front driveways, making bin movement more difficult.
• Streets would need to be cleared of vehicles for several hours, causing significant inconvenience.
• Several streets are already designated "No Parking," making this logistically unworkable for neighbors that rely on the remaining parking.
• Our narrow streets cannot safely accommodate two rows of bins and two-way traffic.

This contradicts what Councilman Paul Ridley shared with me in March, when he stated alley pickup would continue. I have contacted his office to voice our concerns but have yet to receive a response.

Residents are strongly encouraged to take action:

• Sign the petition
• Email your feedback directly to Councilman Ridley at [email protected]

This is a critical quality-of-life issue for our neighborhood, and your voice matters.
