Trash pick-up on normal schedule
Sorry to be a bit late with this reminder, but trash pick-up in the city of Lowell this week will be on the normal schedule and not delayed one day despite Monday being the observance of Veterans Day. So put your trash out on the normal schedule if you haven’t already missed it.
Today (Thursday) is the normal trash day in the Highlands so I tried to gauge how well the message that Veterans Day did not change the pick-up day when I went for an early morning walk. The result? Only 11 of 23 houses I passed on my street had trash out.
When you train people to delay putting out trash in weeks containing a holiday but then say “never mind this week”, the confusion that results in predictable.
