Trash Pickup Amid Protest Barricades | Madison News

Trash and recycling pickup is happening Thursday in the Williamson and South Baldwin streets area, where protests and barricades have sprung up following the fatal police shooting of Corey Ruiz. The city is stepping in to collect waste despite the occupation, asking residents to have bins out by 7 AM. Protesters even turned trash cans into barricades, prompting officials to classify trash as a potential hazard while recycling is seen as less dangerous. Most barricades are gone, but some remain — report any blocking ones to the Streets Division or call if they’re causing traffic issues.
