Trash days around the Hurricane?
 

HI ... new Villager
Does anyone know if trash pickup is still on for Thursday with the Hurricane?
If there is a website or something to check, please also let me know.

Thanks!!! I love the hurricane welcome..Its just for me, right?

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

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.

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

WOW! This is a PERFECT Thread. Good question by the OP. Good input by others. And a post with the current info to answer the topic's question.

This is good..... thanks.

You can sign up to receive info from District.

Why do people that live here find it so hard to go to districtgov.org to find their answers? Lazy?

Did you see where the op said new villager?

Check district gov.org for updates. I recommend signing up for their email updates.

an email came out yesterday afternoon. if you are north of 44 AND Thursday is your day it's now Saturday.

**************.com is a site to use for information about the goings on around the villages. Also, districtgov.org

districtgov.org is the place to go for information about the goings on in the villages

As posted in #6.

And shown in #6.

The VHA just put out a email this morning.

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.

Thanks. As a new Villager as well, I was unaware of this. Just signed up.

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.

District bulletin 12:10

Sanitation services South of SR44 for Thursday, September 26, 2024, are canceled. *If safe conditions allow, sanitation will resume operations on Friday, September 27, 2024, based on schedules normally reserved for holidays. Thursday residential customers will be serviced on Friday, and Friday residential customers will be serviced on Saturday. Once-per-week customers will have one-day delays. Twice-per-week residential customers collected on Thursdays will receive service on Monday, September 30, 2024.

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

Sometimes it pays to read what has been posted………to avoid duplicate posts/info…..Duh!

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.

Monday.

This is the latest update I received yesterday!! You should go to districtgov.org and sign up for their emails. Then they'd send this info to you as they update!!
