Major announcement regarding trash service.  The city of Lubbock will begin picking up our trash.  Each household will receive a roll out trash can by the week of November 19th.  I have just finished emailing every address to Debra and she has promised that they will be here by that date or sooner.  The cans are 96 gallons (which will hold approx.  3 of those large lawn bags).  It is a must that all the trash be placed in bags, no loose trash in the cans.  They are manually emptied.  So please please please remember not to toss loose trash in them.  Each can, when delivered, will have your address labeled on it (they’ve asked us not to mix them up) and a pamphlet which explains the procedures for utilization of this new system. 

At some point in the future, the city will have trucks which will automate dumping the cans, but they are unsure when those trucks will arrive and do not expect them very soon.  There will be a slight change of procedure when this occurs, but nothing drastic.   Also, they do plan to have smaller cans available in the near future, so after using these, if you decide you could get by with a smaller one, they will exhange your can.  I will let everyone know when these are available.

Debra has asked that I tell everyone we are receiving this service ahead of other areas because we did have city trash service until Lubbock changed to the dumpster system, which the Haversham community could not accomodate and also because of problems with windblown and scattered trash.    

I do not yet have a pick up schedule, but will notify everyone as soon as I get it.  

The cans are supposed to be easy to handle.  This will help to keep Haversham clean and reduce pest problems.  If anyone has a question or concern (about the new trash system) give me a call at 747-0321 or email me at marquelb@prodigy.net  

I will also pass out this info on a flyer to every house because I know some people probably do not check online. 

Thanks,
