As a reminder to residents who are using their new Toters for trash pickup in Vincennes - trash must still be bagged and $1.25 sticker must be on each bag in order to be picked up by the sanitation department. Trash will be picked up on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. Trash should be set out by 7:00 AM on your pickup day. If you have not received a toter, please continue to place stickers on the bags & set the bags out to be picked up on your scheduled day. Anyone who still needs a Toter and has already called the Vincennes Street Department, there is no need to call again; they will be delivered when a new supply comes in. Yard debris orders should be phoned in to the Street Department at 885-2520 and will be picked up on another day. Yard debris should not be placed in the Toter, it is for bagged, stickered trash only. The compost site on Old Terre Haute Road is open for yard/limb debris from 7:30AM until 2:30 PM Monday-Friday and on Saturday from 8:30 AM until 1:30PM. The day for recycling pickup has not changed.
