Salvation Army Food Drive Once again Spring Ridge is working with the Salvation Army this holiday season to provide non-perishable food for the hungry and needy in our area. The Salvation Army barrel is located in the Visitor Center lobby. Drop off your non-perishable food between 11am and 5pm Monday through Friday. Please help out those less fortunate this holiday season. New Trash Hauler - New Pick Up Days Pick up days will change to Mon. and Thurs. (This affects only the single family and townhomes) The new trash company, Ecology Services Refuse Disposal, L.L.C., will start November 4, 2002. Recycling will remain on Friday and will be done by another hauler (BFI). The most important item to remember with the new hauler is that the days of pick up will be Monday and Thursday. The level of service will not be diminished at all, in fact, the new hauler will provide a few more services that will improve the community. Ecology will continue to pick up 3 bags of yard waste each collection day, during the summer months. Ecology will also pick up the trash from the containers at the playground/recreational areas. Ecology will not pick up sod, rocks, bulk trash, appliances, or construction debris. Trash will not be picked up on Thanksgiving Day, November 28th. General Rule of Thumb: If a holiday falls on a Mon. or Thurs, trash will be picked up the next scheduled trash day.
