ECUA Replacing Over 15,000 Blue Cans In North Escambia
February 8, 2021
Are you an ECUA customer with a blue garbage can? If so, it’s time for a replacement can.
On Tuesday, ECUA will begin replacing the over 15,000 blue cans still being using in North Escambia. The cans were a part of the Allied Waste service area that ECUA took over in January 2009.
It is expected to take three or four weeks to complete the can switch. ECUA customers are asked to leave their cans out at the curb after this week’s pick up as crews will be working each day to expedite the replacement process. Cans that already have the ECUA logo are not included in this effort.
ECUA customers will not be charged for their new can.
The replacement cans are not a new expenditure for ECUA. The cans were used for ECUA service in Santa Rosa County, which came to an end on December 31. 2020.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!. Why are you wasting me net. My question is what are you going to do with all those blue trash cans? Put them in the landfill? I hope not. Recycle them. Don’t know why you find it necessary to spend money to replace something that’s not broke. What a waste of money
The bill will be much higher and what about the green cans???
Really and then the bill will go up higher
What ever they do…do not…I repeat do not ..just change out the decal.
Oh…go ahead..stupid is as stupid does
So they are replacing the used cans with more used cans? So that means people who have somewhat “clean” cans, can now wonder if they get a can that has mold sitting in it for weeks on end! Wonder how much cleaning was involved when before the cans are put out???? Just a thought
Paint them with green plasti dip. Problem solved.
What purpose is this? Why not , I don’t know, just save money and wait until some one needs an new can to replace them. They put a ECUA sticker on the side to let everyone know who.it belongs to.
Just more money wasting, instead of having 2 pickups a week, or more yard waste pick up or something useful.
And if you have a green can????
Thanks for this information. Frustrating that ECUA failed to provide a map that highlights a projected exchange area each week. I am sure my neighbors dont want to see my blue can sitting on the curb for up to four weeks.
That leads me wondering what the plans are for these old cans they are collecting?
