Is your Seguin trash pickup day changing? Residents urged to check new schedule

(Seguin) -- A majority of city of Seguin residents will soon see a change in their weekly trash and recycling pickup schedule, and city officials are encouraging households to check their updated collection day to avoid missing service.

Beginning Monday, March 16, 2026, garbage and recycling collection routes will be adjusted across the city as service provider Waste Connections updates its operations to keep pace with Seguin’s growth.

That’s according to Jennifer Sourdellia, the city of Seguin public information officer. She says the changes will affect a large portion of local households.

“We will have quite a big percentage (to be impacted). So, we’re looking at about 85 percent of our city customers. That’s going to impact about 11,000 of our 14,000 residents. So, I would venture to say yes, it’s going to

be quite the impact for several people,” said Sourdellia.

Sourdellia says the shift in routes is being implemented by the city’s contracted provider in response to increasing service demands.

“Waste Connections wants to address our city’s rapid growth and our increased service demand. So they are the ones that have rolled out this change,” said Sourdellia.

Along with new pickup days for many customers, the change will also simplify service by collecting garbage and recycling on the same day.

Sourdellia says that adjustment should make things easier for residents who currently have separate pickup days.

“The cool thing about this is that now both garbage and recycling, they’re going to be picked up on the same day.

The Spark: How TLU Junior Angelise Plata inspires young minds

(Seguin) -- When Seguin middle schooler Megan Avery grows up, she knows just the kind of person she wants to be. That’s because she’s got a great example in Angelise Plata, a junior majoring in dramatic media at TLU who, when she’s not juggling classes and projects of her own, dedicates her time to working with students a little further up Court Street at A.J. Briesemeister Middle School.

“When I first met her, she was so kind to me,” says Avery. “She is amazing at what she does, and she inspires me to grow up and be like her! I love how dedicated she is to us and how she is so focused on us. I love Ms. Angelise so much, she is an amazing person, and she deserves the best.”

Words like that mean everything to Plata, who volunteers at AJB as a mentor and technical coach for the school’s Starlettes Dance Team and the Toro Theatre Company. She’s lucky enough to be working with two of her favorite people: her mom, Denise Ebarra, the head director and teacher of the theatre program and director of the dance team; and her brother, Paul Ayala, the assistant and choreographer for the theatre program as well as the head coach and choreographer for the dance team.

“I truly love working alongside them and learning by watching their dedication and creativity in action,” says Plata. “Our passion for the students and the arts doesn’t stop when we leave campus—we’re constantly sharing ideas at home, planning, and finding new ways to help our productions and dancers grow and succeed.”

This love for the performing arts is nothing new to Plata and her family. “I truly feel like I’ve loved theatre my entire life—it’s been

part of who I am for as long as I can remember,” she says.

She was only three when she took the stage for the first time at the Cameo Theatre in downtown San Antonio, where her mom worked as a stage manager, wig designer, and production manager. “Growing up surrounded by rehearsals, costumes, music, and storytelling felt completely magical, and I think that’s where my love for the stage was born,” says Plata. “My brother was also deeply involved as an actor, dancer, and technician, so theatre wasn’t just something I did— it was part of our family’s world.”

As Plata gained years, she also gained experience, performing in shows and musicals across San Antonio, not just at the Cameo, but also at the Woodlawn Theatre and the San Pedro Playhouse. “With every production, my passion only grew stronger,” she says. “Each stage taught me something new about storytelling, discipline, and confidence, and somewhere along the way I realized this wasn’t just something I loved—it was what I was meant to do.”

And that brought her to TLU. “When I first arrived as a freshman, I

was honestly nervous about the film side of my major,” she recalls. “It felt unfamiliar and intimidating. But as the years have passed, that fear has transformed into genuine love and excitement. I’ve discovered that I adore filmmaking just as much as I love being onstage performing.”

Plata says she owes that growth to the guidance she’s received from within the Dramatic Media Department. “I truly have the best mentors I could have ever hoped for in Professor David Legore and Professor Shannon Ivey. They don’t just teach theatre and film—they teach us how to live in this field, how to pursue our dreams with confidence, and how to turn passion into real, tangible success.”

For Plata, the measure of success will include adding her teacher certification to her degree. “My goal is to become a dance teacher at A.J. Briesemeister Middle School, where I hope to pour my experience and passion into the next generation of performers,” she says. “I’ve been dancing for 18 years, including competitive dance and TLU, pg. 3

Trash, continued.

So currently, if you have your garbage and recycling that are picked up on different days of the week, now they’re going to be both picked up on the same day with this change,” said Sourdellia.

Because so many households will see a change, residents are strongly encouraged to confirm their new collection day before the new schedule takes effect.

Sourdellia says the city has made it simple for residents to check online.

“You can go onto our city webpage at SeguinTexas. gov. There is a GIS button on the front page. You can click there and then there’s going to be a city services app that you can open up. And all you have to do is simply type in your address and you can instantly see your updated trash collection day on that link,” said Sourdellia.

Residents can also find the link to check their collection day on the City of Seguin and KWED/Seguin Daily News Facebook pages. That information is also available in today’s online edition of the Seguin Daily News found at Seguintoday.com.

City officials say checking ahead of time will help ensure residents don’t miss placing their carts at the curb once the new schedule begins next week.

team experience, and it would mean so much to work alongside my mom and brother as they teach theatre while I help build and strengthen the school’s dance program.”

Since Plata’s undergrad degree includes an emphasis on both theatre and film, she also looks forward to ongoing work with the middle school’s theatre department. “I especially enjoy creating small film projects and involving the students as actors, because it gives them a chance to experience filmmaking firsthand and hopefully sparks that same creative passion in them,” she says. “When the time eventually comes for me to hang up my dancing shoes, I hope to transition into teaching theatre so I can continue sharing my love for the performing arts with students.”

AJB Principal Linda Guzman is no doubt glad that such a gifted teacher wants to stay the course and build a career in the field of education. “Our AJB Theatre and Dance programs have experienced tremendous growth these past few years,” Guzman says. “Participation has increased, student confidence is soaring, and the excitement

surrounding performances is felt across our entire campus. What began as small programs has evolved into a vibrant part of our school culture. Students are taking risks, discovering their talents, and supporting one another in new ways. The energy at rehearsals and performances reflects a positive culture shift—one where creativity, collaboration, and pride in our school community are on full display. AJB Theatre and Dance is not just growing in numbers; it is growing in impact.”

And Plata’s dream doesn’t end on the middle school stage. “Ultimately, my biggest dream is to open my own fine arts school—a place where students can train in theatre, film, and all styles of dance, and where we can produce full-scale productions that inspire creativity, confidence, and community.”

There is a common thread that runs through all of these career goals for Plata: the joy of seeing the spark in her students. “The most gratifying part of my work with kids is getting to witness their transformation,” she explains. “So many of them walk in unsure of where they belong or who they are, and then, little by little, you see that spark ignite—the

moment they discover a passion, a purpose, and a sense of confidence in themselves as they navigate the ups and downs of middle school and growing up. Watching them begin to dream, set goals, and imagine futures in dance, theatre, or the arts is incredibly moving, because you can actually see their belief in themselves start to take shape.”

And once they’re free to dream, those students can start taking steps toward sharing their passion with others, just like Plata has done.

Take Jenna Avery, for example. She’s a senior at Seguin High School who plans to follow in Plata’s footsteps. “Angelise is so inspirational and genuine and has pushed me to do things that I would never have done without her. She has also inspired me to continue my education after high school at TLU in dramatic media!”

Plata couldn’t be prouder. “Knowing that I can inspire them the way my mentors inspired me is something I will never take for granted,” she says. “Those are the moments that remind me why I do this, and they truly feel like the greatest accomplishment I could ever hope for.”

Two Deaths Possibly Linked To Weight Loss Drugs

(Ireland) -- Two deaths are being investigated in Ireland that may be linked to weight loss drugs. The BBC is reporting that the two cases are among hundreds of possible drug reaction issues reported in Ireland over the last two years connected with GLP-1 weight loss meds. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency says a suspected reaction does not necessarily mean it has been caused by the medicine and that underlying or other illnesses may be responsible.

Microplastics Found In Many Prostate Cancer Tumor Cancer Samples

(New York, NY) -- A study shows microplastics could be behind a number of prostate cancer cases. Research by NYU Langone Health’s Cancer Center found nine out of 10 prostate tumor samples they analyzed had microplastics. The study looked at tissue samples from ten patients with prostate cancer. The cancerous tissue had about two and half times the amount of plastic compared to healthy prostate tissue. The lead author of the study Stacy Loeb says the results show another potential health threat from plastic and underscore the need for stricter regulatory measures to reduce exposure.

FDA Vaccine Chief Stepping Down Again

(Silver Spring, MD) -- The FDA says its vaccine chief will leave the agency next month. Dr. Vinay Prasad’s year-long tenure included a brief resignation last summer after disputes over a paused gene therapy shipment. He also sent a memo to FDA staff claiming COVID vaccines had killed children -- statements he did not back up with evidence. Several former FDA commissioners denounced those remarks. Prasad’s departure adds to a growing list of leadership changes across federal health agencies.

Study Forever Chemicals May Speed Up Aging In Middle Aged Men

(China) -- A new study shows middle aged men may age faster with exposure to specific forever chemicals. The study in the journal Frontiers in Aging shows researchers analyzed chemicals known as PFAS in the blood stream and chemical changes to DNA to see how quickly their cells were aging. Results show higher levels of two chemicals were associated with faster biological aging in men 50 to 64 but not in women. Researchers at Tong University in China says Midlife is a sensitive biological window where the body becomes more susceptible to age-related stressors, which could explain why that age group reacts stronger to chemical exposure.
