If Friday is our regular collection day and Christmas falls on Friday...will the garbage be picked up on a different day?
I know some will advise me to look it up ... I just don't have the time because I have to go to work!
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all!

No makeup day....just have to hold your trash til your next scheduled day on Tuesday.

Our recycle day is Friday; next Friday is New Year's Day....I'm hoping there will be service that day, otherwise, the recyclables will sure be stacking up.

Just re-read the paper...BogeyBoy is correct. No regular trash service on Friday...resumes next Tues; However, they will come by on Saturday for recyclables.

Same schedule next week.

This gets confusing every year - I always end up in a house with trash pick up and Christmas on the same day. (Don't ask me how that happens, just attribute it to living in multiple houses in TV.)

Again this year I am faced with the question - put the trash out on Christmas Day or leave it in the garage?

The newspaper clearly states "CH2M Hill Omi will be closed Friday and Jan 1. Customers who have trash pickup on Fridays will have trash pickup on the following Tuesday and Jan 5. For Friday recycling customers only, pickup will be on Saturday and Jan 2.

Why is this confusing? Because I have had trash pickup on Christmas Day in the past after having read the same message in the newspaper. The trucks cruised through the neighborhood in record time because no one had taken the trash to the curb after reading the Daily Sun.

I did call the phone number in TV phone book for "Sumter Sanitation, LLC". 352-748-0109. No one answered, I got a message that said they were CH2M Hill Omi.

Have the resident closest to your gate sit on a lawn chair Friday. (He/she better have an umbrella.) If he sees the garbage truck coming he can use a loudspeaker to make an announcement so everyone can rush their trash to the curb.

I think I need another cup of coffee, I've lost sleep over this trash issue, maybe I'll put mine at my neighbor's curb, then I won't look like the fool who can't read the paper. Or maybe he'll look like the genius with "insider" trash info!

That's hysterical....I love it! We could have gate parties throughout the community....

Merry Christmas

I did read about the Saturday recycling schedule...I read Friday's Christmas paper Saturday afternoon...right after the recycling truck passed by the house!
Maybe they could post the schedule a little bit further in advance for those of us who are behind in their reading!

We have Friday trash and recycling. This week and next they will pick up recycling only on Saturday. Our regular trash day is Tuesday.

Friday is our normal day but we had garbage pick up yesterday don't ask me why though...GN

[jojo]

People who put out trash in our neighborhood did not have it picked up. Only recyclables. Maybe they mistook it for recycling?

Does anyone know which holidays the trash colllection folks observe? Our collection is Mon/Weds.

[mrbillmidlo]

Oops. I meant Mon/Thurs trash collection.

[kaydee]

Our pick-up days are Mon & Thurs as well. All holidays are observed by the pick-up operators and specifically speaking of this up coming Monday, I am not expecting our trash to be picked up. Guess there will be plenty of recycled material for the following week since that is only picked up on Mondays for us.

its only June. why are we worrying about trash pickup in December

There is always an explanation in the Daily Sun a few days before a holiday.
As a last resort look down the street the eve of a holiday.....if you see trash out thats a good clue.

I checked the Sun yesterday and today. The only reference to trash collection was for Lake County. Anybody know for sure about Sumter and Marion?
