IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Change of Pick-up for Town of Halifax Solid Waste & Recycling Customers

EFFECTIVE WEEK OF PRESIDENT’S DAY HOLIDAY

February 13, 2017

To All Town of Halifax Customers:

Halifax Town Hall will be closed on Monday February 20th in observance of President’s Day. Please be aware that the Town of Halifax will be picking up recyclables on Friday February 24th due to the modified Holiday schedule. The regular town curbside recycling pick up will resume Wednesday March 1st as customary. During the modified holiday schedule, town residents may take their properly prepared recyclable materials (see guidelines for curbside pick-up below), to the large bins provided at the Blue Ridge Regional Jail lower parking lot which now accepts co-mingled newspaper (including mixed paper), plastic (#1 & #2), cardboard, cans (aluminum & metal) and mixed consumer glass (clear, green & brown). When recycling glass at the Convenience Center site, PLEASE PLACE THE GLASS DIRECTLY INTO THE BIN WITH NO BAGS-this will keep the glass free of contaminants so that sorting will not be necessary.
