Starting today, the city says it's changing garbage pickup days to be the same as yard waste collection day.

The goal is to make the process more efficient and convenient, and it'll only affect certain neighborhoods.

Rock Island sent letters to all customers whose collection day is scheduled to change. It won't change for those who did NOT get a letter.

Curbside recycling pickup days and yard waste collection days will remain the same.

More information is on the city's website.

People should put their carts our before 7 A.M. on collection day.
