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.
