Change of Pick-up for Town of Halifax Solid Waste & Recycling Customers
EFFECTIVE WEEK OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY HOLIDAY
January 6, 2017
To All Town of Halifax Customers:
Halifax Town Hall will be closed on Friday January 13th for Lee-Jackson Day and Monday January 16th in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Please be aware that the Town of Halifax will be picking up recyclables on Friday January 20th due to the modified Holiday schedule. The regular town curbside recycling pick up will resume Wednesday January 25th as customary. During the modified holiday schedule, town residents may also 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 AND OTHER ACCEPTED RECYCLEABLES DIRECTLY INTO THE BIN WITH NO BAGS-this will keep the materials free of contaminants so that sorting will not be necessary.
