Waste Management will adjust its collection schedules in Galesburg this week, with routes starting 30 minutes earlier due to anticipated high heat and humidity. The change will be in effect from July 22 through July 25, 2025. Residents are asked to place their refuse at the curb by 5:30 AM on their scheduled collection day to ensure timely pickup. City officials and Waste Management urge everyone to take this precaution seriously as a measure to protect workers from extreme weather conditions. For further updates or questions, residents can contact the city or visit their website.
