With Southern Illinois University Carbondale students arriving back on campus and fall classes starting on August 19th, the City of Carbondale will be offering additional services to the public.
For example, the City Water Office will be open extended hours until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, from August 14th through the 28th.
Parking meters will be covered to allow free parking on downtown parking lots between August 12th and the 23rd.
In an effort to keep the City clean of trash and debris, the Refuse and Recycling Division will provide daily patrols to collect and dispose of refuse from the curbside. Regular patrols will begin on August 9th and continue through the 25th. Patrols will be performed seven days a week if necessary.
Refuse at the curbside will be removed and the property owner will be billed based on the time it takes at each location. The rate is $15.00 plus $7.50 per minute after the first minute.
