Changes are coming to Flood Brothers collection in unincorporated Maine Township, allowing the entire Township to be served on the same day!

Township residents, if your garbage is currently picked up on Thursdays, your new pickup day is moving to Monday.

This update affects nearly 300 homes located from Dee Road to Robin Drive, between Ballard and Dempster.

To help with the transition, Flood Brothers will be delivering notices and door hangers directly to every affected home.

Please note that your last Thursday pickup will be on October 29, and your first Monday pickup will be on November 2.

Moving forward, be sure to have your containers at the curb by 6:00 AM on your new Monday service day. If you happen to miss your new pickup day during the first week of November, there is no need to worry, as Flood Brothers will run a special cleanup pickup.
