Morning, weather has not played favorably for us. If any resident has extras, we’re taking it. As mentioned we are trying to get caught up by Friday.

We appreciate your patience as we continue to service the affected areas that we not serviced Friday January 12th. Residents should continue to leave cart at the end of the drive, as pick up will continue throughout the week. We’re going to make every effort to service affected areas as soon and as safely as possible.
