Homes south of the Turnpike are already serviced with this option.

I was aware of the change and wasn't surprised. Like many have said, it's been posted here and there has been coverage in The Daily Sun (just not front page above the fold coverage)

I am curious about the lawn waste...does anyone know if we are we doing away with the brown paper bags?
