Monroe Garbage drop-off date set for Saturday, July 19

Republic Services will provide a free garbage drop-off event for City of Monroe single-family residents on July 19, 2025, from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. at the Monroe Municipal Campus.

The event will only accept bagged household garbage, emphasizing the importance of proper waste disposal. This initiative aims to fill a service gap caused by a work stoppage affecting regular trash collections. Residents should note that this event is not a replacement for curbside services. According to local news reports, the service interruptions stem from ongoing labor disputes. The City of Monroe encourages residents to utilize this drop-off opportunity to manage their waste effectively.

Community members have expressed concerns about the impact of the service disruption on local cleanliness and public health. With this event, officials aim to address those concerns while ensuring waste management continues during challenging times.
