Time for the Holidays • This is the last Citizen News Weekly of 2020! We will not be sending out an issue next week. Also, our regular posting and sharing on Facebook will be on a brief hiatus as we all enjoy the peace of the season. Staff are still hard at work keeping an eye on things, and if breaking news or weather happens, we’ll jump right on it and keep you informed! Be sure to look for this eNewsletter the first full week in January 2021 along with our return to Facebook! Citizen News Weekly is also available online. We wish you a very happy holiday season and joyful New Year.
Christmas Tree Recycling January 4-8 • We know…Christmas is not yet here and we’re talking about kicking the evergreen to the curb. But, due to next week’s holiday pause (see above), this is our chance to let you know about tree recycling. Please remove all tinsel, lights, ornaments, stand, etc. and place your live tree to the roadside by 7 a.m. on Monday, January 4 for pickup during the week. Trees must be no greater than six feet in height. Extra tall trees should be cut in half for collection. Trees placed in bags will not be collected. Questions? Call Waste Management at (757) 890-3780 or visit the website.
Reminder: County Offices Closed Christmas and New Year’s Holidays • County offices are closed December 24, 25, 31, and January 1. In addition to those dates, the libraries are also closed December 26 and January 2. Trash and recycling collections normally held on the next two Fridays are moved to Saturdays, December 26 and January 2. For complete details, visit the press release.
Leaf Collection Continues Through January • Crews are continuing to visit County neighborhoods picking up bagged leaves for delivery to the VPPSA Compost Facility. Leaves must be placed in clear bags and placed at the roadside on Monday of your collection week. For the schedule and more information, please visit the Public Works website.
