Trash Service Question
 
I just bought a house in Cason Hammock and will be moving at the end of January.

How does the trash service work in TV? Do you get a can or need to purchase one? How often is the pick up? How much can you put out? What if I have a lot due to construction?

I am planning on pulling up some carpet, not sure what to do with the remodel debris? Thanks

No trash cans. You need to use plastic bags only. Pick up is 2 times per week. You may need to schedule pick up of large items in advance.

Welcome to TV!

I'm new as well but I learned that you don't get a can or container and if you use one they will toss it as well. In our area we are picked up twice a week, Tuesday's and Friday.

funny, knowing how the trash pickup service worked never entered my mind when I purchased any of the five homes I've bought

I just bought there as well. Moving in at the end of this month. Congrats, you will love it. Looking forward to meeting you in the neighborhood.

My husband and I had all our carpet removed recently and replaced with tile. The carpet and pads were removed by the trash service.

The system is one of the most ridiculous things about ”the bubble”. Putting a plastic garbage bag on your driveway where critters can get at it it’s just plain stupid. I would put it out in the morning to avoid them.

I would also prefer a can but it is what it is. Worry more that wind will blow open container we put papers in and scatter to the neighborhood

If you want to take a chance on the regular trash service picking up your construction waste make sure you cut the carpet in 4’ strips and roll it up and tape it. A Bagster is another option

But if someday you decide to move it might be the first thing to think about:icon_wink:

I'm amazed that you are moving to a new home and trash pick-up is your concern.

Our trash isn't picked up till after 10 am. So putting it out in the morning is the routine.

At closing, you'll get an info sheet telling you what your trash pick-up days are, along with your Villages ID#...
