When it snows... watch for our announcements

Excited about last night's Winter Storm Watch, my boys were ready.  They had their snow pants out, and their boots lined up.

I was ready, too: I had a laptop and cell phone, fully charged and standing by.

As we saw this morning, neither set of preparations was called into play.  Still, it was good practice for a future weekday morning on which snow blankets the ground, or ice makes streets too slippery for recycling and trash collection vehicles.

If County-provided recycling or trash collection needed to be delayed or suspended due to weather on such a morning, I'd press that laptop into service as soon as I received the phone call to let me know that there was a collections change.  I would update our website, and send a note to our announcement subscribers.  You can receive notifications as email, a text message, or as an RSS feed.

Are you on our subscriber list?  If not, I invite you to join our Collection Change notification list (and any of the other lists we offer).
