What village are you in as I don’t think all trash is the same. Ours ran during the last one. I have not seen anything yet but multiple posts about it during the last one a month or two ago so standby maybe tomorrow or late tomorrow.

In all 5 of our neighborhoods, trash was picked up with no issues. Of course we are 48 hours out TV station and Alexa is already sending alerts

Bill14564 09-24-2024 02:29 PM

There might be a special notification placed on or pushed from districtgov.org.

If something is made official then the online news source which shall not be named will likely carry it.

Now that this thread has been started I'm sure someone will post any official information that is released.

My personal guess: Unless the storm strengthens significantly and turns to pass directly overhead, normal trash pickup will occur.

Bill14564 09-24-2024 05:28 PM

Sanitation information for Thursday is up on district gov.org now

The VHA just put out a email this morning.

Mcnuke 09-25-2024 07:23 AM

If your south of 44, forget your trash pickup day. It’s just like another holiday, you’ll hold your trash until Monday 9/30. There are 6 such holidays like that in 2024 - now this makes 7.
Don’t worry- you pay the same trash rates as those living North of 44.

Why do some people who have been here 10+ years think that people who have been here less than a week know as much as they do? Puerile?

Has there been an announcement for south of 44?

There are six holidays on Thursday in 2024?

I just called the VCDD and asked about garbage pickup south of 44. They told me that, as of now, garbage pickup has not been canceled.

I am impressed with how precise the weather forecasting is. North of 44 will have strong winds and heavy rain and south of 44, we will have lovely weather!

I always look forward to questions around trash day! If the trash is cancelled I know I may need to evacuate, LOL

I thought about that too. I suspect there were more than a few complaints when the call was made very late for the last storm after some had already put their trash out. Perhaps this time they didn't want to wait too long and instead made a call that might turn out to have been premature.

A noon announcement seems reasonable - plenty of notice to not put trash out tonight.

For these type of questions always go to district.gov then you would see that trash north of 44 was suspended and moved to Saturday.

You mean I should take my own advice? Perhaps like I did in post 5?

Maybe I should have read through this thread, then I would have seen the same information in posts 6, 11, 26, 28, and 31. (and the day is not over so I'm sure there will be more) EDIT:
...and 34
… and 35

Or I could read the two emails I received from DistrictGov.

But probably I personally don't care since I don't have Thursday trash pickup and I was just trying to help someone new.
