Garbage, Recycling, Compost/Yard Waste – Republic Services – Pick up is on Tuesdays starting as early as 7:00 AM. Cans should go in the street, not on the sidewalk. Cans should be placed with 2 feet between them, 3 feet from cars and mailboxes. If Christmas or New Year’s Day is on Monday or Tuesday, then pick up will be on Wednesday. If a pickup is missed because of snow, twice the regular amount will be allowed the following week.
Mailboxes – Sadly, mail theft is a recurring problem, especially around Christmas. We recommend a hardened security locking mailbox, such as the Pinnacle model. Mention that HCCA sent you and receive 10% off. If you get with your neighbors to rebuild the mailbox housing, HCCA will reimburse half the cost up to $200.
