The city will resume bulk trash pickups Aug. 2 after a hiatus of more than one month, the public works department announced Monday. Residents may begin calling 311 to schedule collection of bulk trash, which includes items such as appliances, furniture and tires without rims. The program was nearly eliminated as the city grappled with a $121 million shortfall, but officials restored funding for bulk trash pickups with the proceeds of a package of new taxes and fees. Collections have been halted since June. Regular trash and recycling pickups for the Mount Vernon and downtown areas have changed as part of the budget year that began July 1. Recycling will be gathered Tuesday evenings and trash will be taken Friday nights, said public works spokeswoman Celeste Amato.
