Curbside and Multifamily U-Cycle Routes Resume Service Week of August 19
U-Cycle services for both the curbside and multifamily recycling programs will resume on Monday, August 19, 2024. The City of Urbana appreciates citizens’ patience during this unforeseen service disruption.
Beginning at 6 a.m. on Sunday, August 18, 2024, and ending at midnight on Sunday, August 25, 2024, the City of Urbana Parking Enforcement Division will enforce the following:
Parking regulations that are not related to safety concerns—such as parking too close to a sidewalk or driveway, parking outside the lines, being more than 12 inches from the curb, or parking on the wrong side of the street—will not be enforced during move-in time unless a complaint is made. Exceptions include blocking intersections or roadways.
Fraternities, sororities, and other house organizations will have earlier move-in dates, which are still to be determined.
*Holiday Schedule* Please note that due to the Independence Day holiday on Thursday, July 4, U-Cycle routes on Thursday, July 4 and Friday, July 5 will be delayed by one day. Thursday's U-Cycle route will be collected on Friday, July 5, and Friday's U-Cycle route will be collected on Saturday, July 6. Please place recycle curbside by 7:00 a.m. to ensure collection.
For questions please contact U-Cycle at (217) 384-2302.
