Garbage for Oregon Hill is usually on Wednesdays, so I guess garbage pickup will happen on Thursday this coming week due to holiday.

Recycling usually happens for Oregon Hill every other Wednesday. This coming week’s curbside recycling will happen on Thursday, the 9th, according to CVWMA schedule.

And, since we are at it, it seems like as good of time as any to remind residents of City code concerning refuse and recycling; here is a sample:

Sec. 86-44. Times and places of collection; bulk items; brush collection; collection of loose leaves.

(a) Refuse receptacles and recycling bins must be placed out for collection by 6:00 a.m. of the scheduled collection day but not earlier than 4:00 p.m. of the day preceding, except for any special times as deemed necessary by the director of public works. The refuse receptacles and recycling bins must be removed by 7:00 a.m. on the day following collection from city property and right-of-ways to include, but not be limited to, sidewalks, alleys and median strips between sidewalks and roadways. Refuse receptacles and recycling bins shall be placed for collection at a location designated by the director of public works. The public utility account holder of any property to which a refuse receptacle has been assigned shall be responsible for removing the refuse receptacle from city property by 7:00 a.m. on the day following collection. Any account holder who allows a refuse receptacle or recycling bin to remain on city property after 7:00 a.m. on the day following collection shall receive a notice from the Department of Public Works advising of the violation and allowing the account holder an opportunity to remove the refuse receptacle or recycling bin. If the refuse receptacle or recycling bin is not timely removed from city property, the Department of Public Works shall cause the account holder to be assessed a civil penalty in the amount of $50.00 for each and every calendar day that each and every refuse receptacle or recycling bin remains on city property beginning with the date of the most recent past scheduled pick up time from the Department of Public Works. Such civil penalty shall be included on the account holder’s monthly utility statement and shall be subject to collection in the same manner as other utility charges including delinquent charges for utilities.
