Dumpsters for disposal of large household items will be available from Saturday November 1st through Sunday November 9th. They will be located in the parking area adjacent to the soccer field just beyond the water treatment plant on Carroll Creek Road. Don't throw in waste oil, tires or toxic materials, and flatten all large cardboard boxes. Please throw items INTO the dumpster, don't leave them on the ground beside it! Help keep the area picked up so trash does not blow into the fields. After the dumpsters are removed on November 10th, do not leave any trash on the ground in the area. This service is for Glenmore residents only - no contractors.
The Charlottesville/Albemarle SPCA will again be accepting used items in good condition adjacent to the dumpster site on Saturday November 1st, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, for resale at their Preston Ave store. Thanks to resident Jan Cubbage for arranging this. If you have any questions or need a pick-up of large items, please contact Jan at 409-1258.
Small Limb and Branch Pick-Up will start on Monday November 10th. Please place all branches to be chipped (up to six inches in diameter) at the edge of your driveway by 8:00 AM. It may take several days to complete, depending on the quantity to be picked up and the weather, so bear with us if your branches do not disappear promptly. Since all items must be fed into the chipper large end first, please place the large ends of all branches facing toward the street. Also, check the common areas near your home and move any downed branches to the nearest roadside. Not to be chipped: stumps, leaves, shrubbery, roots, dirt, lumber, metal of any kind and large-scale lot clearing.
Leaf Removal will take place during the weeks of November 17th, 24th, and December 1st, according to the schedule below. Have leaves piled up within 8 feet of your roadside by 8:00 A.M. on your indicated date, but not on the road itself or near your mailbox or walking path. All listed pick-up dates are Mondays, allowing homeowners to collect leaves over the weekend. We will collect on the indicated streets during the week shown, with the precise schedule left up to the contractor and the weather. Since we will be using a vacuum hose system, bagged leaves, brush, shrubbery or any other debris will not be collected. Please do not pile leaves on any GCA common area, especially the Piper Way median, or any vacant lot.
