In the Good New-Bad News Department: Without prior notice, Republic Services sent a crew to Wateview Cluster to collect trash this morning, Saturday July 20th. That worked well for Orchard Lane because most of the homes make use of large communal trash bins and those trash bins remained at their pickup locations. Alas, the responsible citizens who returned their full trash containers to their homes will have to wait until Monday for the next collection date.
