It’s happening again. Trash and recycling is piling up in neighborhoods across Philadelphia. Over the past two weeks, residents are once again experiencing significant lapses in their garbage and recycling pickup.

It’s a very similar scene to one year ago during the height of the pandemic.

You may remember the city saw lapses up to four weeks last summer during the height of COVID-19. The city doesn’t want to see that happen again.
