How Christmas Impacts Springfield Trash Pickup

Tuesday trash pushed back due to holiday.

Posted by Sam Fran Scavuzzo, December 20, 2012 at 08:08 am

Many municipal services will be delayed or shuttered due to the Christmas holiday next week— including trash pickup for some Springfield residents.

Trash and recycling will not be picked up Dec. 25, the Springfield Board of Commissioners said.

According to an announcement on the township's website, residents who normally put trash out on Tuesday and Friday will only be able to utilize the service on Friday.

Trash pickup for Christmas Eve, Monday, will still take place.

Additionally, commingled and paper recycling will be delayed for one day—with pickup taking place Wednesday Dec. 26.

With all due respect to Giant (I shop there), I do believe that seed and suet for backyard birds…Read More should be purchased by a locally owned store. A locally run store has a higher turnaround in seed and suet, meaning the product is fresher. Stay away from "big box" discount stores. Their seed and suet may sit on store shelves for months, letting the products turn rancid. Also, big box stores often by seed mixtures that contain fillers such as red millet. Backyard birds do not eat red millet (they do love white millet, however). If you think you're saving money when you buy a seed mixture containing red millet, it's really not a bargain. Shop locally! And be a smart shopper!

Get you lox/nova from Costco. It's almost half the price and much tastier and if they ever have a…Read More recall, they notify you, individually, and you don't need a receipt to get cash back. Once I discovered how good their smoked salmon tastes, and I get it at such a great price, I never will get it from anywhere else. One catch... you have to join the Costco club but man, it's worth it. I used to buy 1/2 lbs from Genardi's and when they got bought out by Giant, I had to look elsewhere. Now that I found Costco, I buy 1 1/2 lbs at about the same price and it's even more delicious. Happy Bar Mitzvah.
