City of Plymouth: Delayed Trash Collection, Fall Leaf Collection, and Election details
Published on Oct 8, 2025 13:12

From Your City of Plymouth Municipal Services Department:

Delayed Trash Collection 
Due to unforeseen operational issues, Priority trash collection was unable to be completed yesterday (Tuesday, October 7) for the following streets and subdivisions. Collection for these areas will resume promptly today (Wednesday, October 8). 

North/South streets:
Stark weather, Cherry, N Mill, N Holbrook

East/West streets:
Dunn, Hardenberg, West & East Pearl Street, Front/Division Street, Liberty Street, West & East Spring Street, Farmer/Caster street

Subdivisions:
Amelia Street/ Rose Street, Parkview Subdivision, Sydney Subdivision, Woodridge Circle

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience. Please ensure your refuse carts remain at the curb for rescheduled collection.

Hydrant Flushing
Annual hydrant flushing and testing starts this month and will run for about one month.

You might experience brief low water pressure or discolored water. If this occurs, run your cold water for several minutes to clear your lines. The discoloration is due to stirred-up natural minerals and the water remains safe to drink at all times.
