Waste Pro drivers noticed some Wednesday homes haven’t set out their bins yet — if your pickup usually happens later in the day, you might still have time to get them to the curb.
Pickup did run as usual yesterday.
If you’re ever unsure about trash holidays, you can always check the Town website or look here on Facebook — we’ll always post an update anytime there’s a schedule change.

🚧 Water Main Break 🚧 A water main has burst near Brooks Branch and Arlington Trail on the south side of town. MLGW crews are on-site and working to make repairs.
Residents and businesses in this area may experience low water pressure or discolored water during and shortly after the repair work.
We’ll share any updates as they are available — thank you for your patience while crews complete the work.
Don’t toss wet paint in the trash! 🎨🚫 When paint cans go in your trash bin, Waste Pro only finds out after the truck compacts it — and that can get messy (for them & the truck).
✅ How to dispose of paint properly:
- Small amounts: Leave cans open to dry completely, then place them in your trash bin.
- Large amounts: Take wet paint to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility (6305 Haley Rd). Note: they don’t accept latex paint.
The Facility also accepts other hazardous items not safe for your trash bin.
