    Thanks for the info. I was concerned that the recycling in my house would be out of control without a make up day.

    you can always take your recycling to the place where the old Arcola community center is. I do that often if I have to many things - like boxes to put out at the curb

    Does anyone know if they will pick up Christmas trees on 12/29 with the other yard waste? Or does it have to wait until 1/5? Unfortunately, the HOA office is closed until Monday.

    Section84, read Maureen's post above. also the information was located smack dab on the front of the newly mailed HOA newsmagazine. Xmas trees are never picked up until January.

    I actually DID read it. It said it went out with yard waste, and Monday is yard waste pickup. However, the info for this Monday didn't mention trees. I didn't want to ASSUME that they would be picked up. Excuse me for living.

    My aren't we neighborly today?

    Last year we took the tree down before the new year and put it out on a Monday and it was picked up with the trash.

    I thought the special pick-up days for trees had more to do with trucking them to a mulching center.

    Section, no meaness was intended, just a logical Mr. Spock type answer (I'm more right brained but am musical!) This is what I was referring to in Mama's posting:
    "The next pick up will be Monday, January 5, 2009 for trash, Christmas trees and yard waste." And I believe KTdid has it right about the mulching. I think that is when the trash company can actually begin to bring the trees to the county for mulching as opposed to this coming Monday, when just trash and regular yard waste (pointsettia's included her) can be picked up.

    When I asked when our next pick up of trash would be (since our trash was already overflowing) I was pointed to this first post to get my answer.

    Is there still a recycling pickup on the 31st? http://www.broadlandshoa.org/node/110 doesn't list it.

    Why did this make-up recycle day have to be so windy?

    We haven't put ours out yet .... I'm hoping to hear the truck as he zooms through the neighborhood and run it out to him.

    We had to go out and pick up a bunch of our stuff that was blowing around. I thought I had arranged it well enough with all the empty wine bottles to weigh everything down. My husband listened for the truck and took out the rest of the stuff when they pulled up and was able to bring in the empty bins right away. Otherwise they'd be long gone by now.

    Were the recycling people supposed to take our recycling bins when they came today? I think I saw something about changing companies in the newsletter but don't recall the timing. Our bin was taken with our recycling items. How do we get one back?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, our bin blew away somewhere by the time I got home from work. I even drove down the street looking for it, but no luck.

    Recyclables were not picked up in the SW townhomes section. A couple of neighbors and I still have full bins out.

    Yeah same here, our recycle bin is gone. I walked down the neighborhood to see if it had blown into the woods but I was not able to find it.
