REMINDER - Trash service will be delayed 1 day next week, as Monday is a scheduled trash service holiday. Service will instead run Tuesday-Saturday (weather permitting).
Arlington wants to remind everyone to be prepared for the upcoming extreme cold temps expected in our area. Be sure to have enough emergency supplies on hand in case of outages - such as food, medicine, and water. And some early preparation can help avoid a burst pipe and the headache that comes with it.
STREET SWEEPING - holidays are over and it's time to clean! Town street sweeping will start next Monday, the 8th (weather permitting). It usually takes around 5-7 days.
As always, major intersections and Town parking lots will be swept at night to avoid traffic and park event interruptions. Please DO NOT PARK on the street during this time unless you know it has already been swept.
REMINDER - Town facilities will close at Noon tomorrow (29th) & will be closed on Monday (Jan 1st) for the New Years holiday.

A couple Schedule Changes for the upcoming weeks to keep in mind:

2) Trash collection will not run on the 25th or Jan 1st, so all service for the next two weeks will be shifted forward one day (Tues-Sat).

A reminder as the leaves are falling - the Town does not offer leaf vacuum services (although some private companies will do this). If you hire somebody to collect your leaves, be sure to keep them on your property and not blow leaves into the street. Leaves clog storm drains and can cause bigger problems like flooding and erosion along drainage creeks.
The Town wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday! We'd also like to share a couple Schedule Changes this week to Remember:
1. Town Facilities will be closed on Thursday & Friday to allow employees to enjoy time with friends and family.
2. Trash Service will not run on Thanksgiving Day. As such, Thursday & Friday collection will be shifted 1 day and picked up on Friday & Saturday instead.
Get in the holiday spirit this Sunday at the Arlington Tree Lighting! 🎄
See the lights, listen to the Bartlett Area Chorus, write letters to Santa, enjoy treats from vendors, visit the historic post office & museum, and more. Plus...special guests Santa & the Grinch will be on hand!
