As the holiday season approaches, many of us are busy preparing for festive gatherings, gift exchanges, and delicious feasts. However, amidst all this excitement lies a crucial detail that can easily slip our minds: the trash collection schedule. This year, with Christmas falling on December 25th and New Year's Day on January 1st, it's essential to be aware of how these holidays will affect your regular waste disposal routine.
For residents in the Woodstream Homeowners Association area, there’s a slight shift in service days during this festive period. Typically scheduled pickups will move one day later than usual starting from Christmas Day itself. So if you usually have your trash collected on Wednesdays or Fridays, mark your calendars!
- Wednesday's (Dec 25) collection is now set for Thursday (Dec 26).
- Friday's (Dec 27) pickup has been rescheduled to Saturday (Dec 28).
- The same pattern continues into the new year; expect Thursday collections on January 2nd instead of Wednesday and Saturday pickups on January 4th instead of Friday.
This adjustment allows everyone to enjoy their celebrations without worrying about missed garbage days amid all the festivities!
Additionally, let’s not forget about those beloved Christmas trees! After you've enjoyed its twinkling lights and fragrant presence throughout December, it’s time for proper disposal. Tree collection will occur during the first two weeks of January—specifically from January 6 through January 18—on Saturdays alongside yard waste collections. Just remember to strip away any tinsel or decorations before placing it curbside; plastic bags are a no-go here!
If by chance your tree isn’t picked up as planned? Don’t fret! Simply leave it out at the curb until next week’s collection day rolls around again—it’ll eventually find its way home!
In summary: stay organized this holiday season by keeping track of these changes in trash schedules so you can focus more on making memories rather than managing messes.
