Good afternoon. We have been informed by Republic Services that some of the route for Thursday would be on a 1-day delay due to staffing issues.

All major roads will be serviced as normal.
Any roads that require the smaller truck to service will be picked up Friday with the exception of: Deerhill Rd., Fawn Ct. and Antler Dr.

These roads will be serviced on Thursday as scheduled. Republic Services has asked that ALL trash and recycling be placed out this evening to ensure pick up. The recycling will be picked up first this early Thursday morning, and the trash will get serviced later that afternoon. Because these areas are very small and difficult to turn around with the larger truck, the recycling crew will service the recycling carts and then move the trash containers so that they are strategically placed so that when the trash driver arrives, he is able to back down Fawn Ct. and Antler Dr. and service everything on the right (passenger side) of the truck. This will NOT be the norm going forward. It is just for tomorrow 5/14. We hope this information is helpful.

Again, Deerhill Rd., Fawn Ct., and Antler Dr. will be serviced tomorrow 5/14. Please have all trash and recycling out by this evening to be serviced.
Thank you and have a great day.
