Did you go to that site ? I was happy you posted it, like many others I had no idea where to find the information (and, not bragging....LOL... but I do have neighbors that make me look like a tech genius, I have neighbors who have no idea how to look up such things on the internet (and yes, I have invited them to computer club when we used to have that here). Anyway, the information on the site you provided was nothing different than it has been for our neighborhood for years now. Same days as always, has all the same info on recycling, how to separate, when to set it out, so not a lot of help..... the brochure with no dates for the changes, at least gives the new DAYS, and it seems the old rule NO GARBAGE can be set out before 9 p.m. (which it says on the website of the Villages government) in the "new" rules is listed as NOT before 6 p.m. So looks like it still can not be put out until it is dark outside, but 6 is much more reasonable !

But not all subscribe to that. I did subscribe many years ago when I first moved here, but shortly after getting settled was able to subscribe to another paper which seemed a little bit more like a real paper (and now that has changed too, LOL !) But most recently I have noticed that on my block, where once I never saw a drive without a paper on it in the mornings, I now see only two houses with papers ! Newspapers definitely have little to offer anymore except maybe Coffee/Paper routine of us retirees ? The "Sun" seems to have even less than the others in the area. I have Comcast TV so maybe the Ch. 2 villages Channel will have some actual DATES of all the changes ? Also, does anyone think there will be polo this year ? Not sure if the virus is allowed at polo games, or if that would be a "safe" event to watch ?

"The "Sun" seems to have even less" - It had the new trash schedule.

"does anyone think there will be polo this year" - They are playing. Watch Polo at The Villages Polo Club

Seems every county and even two different portions of Lake county, all different rules, days, numbers to call, and none of the mailing have any dates ?

Found by looking at the VCCD website...

It has been posted everywhere.

Oh, maybe as LINERS for inside the big black plastic bags so the sticks do not go through the plastic as easily ?

You can use bags of any material or color you want.

Except red. Reserved for medical waste.

It is in your water bill. You have to read it.

I called them up and they said no sorting required any longer. This means everything can go into one bag type (recycled and regular trash as well as yard waste). They will pick up on the same two days as usual but take all kinds of trash on both days, no need to put them in different bags. Sad to see the change but that’s what it is.

Where have you been not to have heard? There's been articles in the paper, notice in your bill, people talking. There is an over abundance of info that has been out for a while. Even better, go to the Covanta.com website and see what a good thing this is.

Mine came by email, and I took a screen shot of it. Here you are.

Put it in a bag and put on curb, that easy.

Good. I hated seperating things

You can mix everything together.......trash, yard waste and anything that used to be recycled.
Two pick ups per week, usually on the same days as trash pick up has been.

Red colored bags are not acceptable. That was mentioned specifically in the info provided. The reason: red colored bags signify bio hazard material contained within.

Was in water bill the info
