Starting this week, about 15,000 households in the city of Dayton will see changes to their trash and recycling schedules.

The city collects trash Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, based on the locations of the homes (the zones they are in). Recycling is collected on the same days as trash, every other week.

Some households in the city will see their trash bins emptied on different days of the week. Some households will see recycling collections change. Some will see changes to both services.

Dayton says it has a backlog of about 900 trash containers. City officials say they are working to fix the problem in coming weeks and months. CORNELIUS FROLIK / STAFF
