Morning, neighbors. Coffee’s on, and it’s another quiet one on the news front, so today’s cup stays close to home.
Did You Know
Did you know there’s no curbside trash pickup out here? Sherrills Ford, Terrell, Monbo, and Long Island are unincorporated, so instead of a truck rolling down your street, you haul your own bags to a staffed convenience center. The closest one is the Sherrills Ford Convenience Center on Sherrills Ford Rd, open Thursday through Sunday, 10am to 6pm.
Household trash runs $2 a bag, recycling is free, and bulky items like furniture or a mattress take a small extra fee. It’s one of those unincorporated-area facts that catches new residents off guard the first time they go looking for a trash can at the curb. Full details, including which centers take appliances and scrap metal, are on our County Services: Who to Call page.
Quote for the Road
“The care of the earth is our most ancient and most worthy responsibility.”
Wendell Berry
Feels right for a morning spent thinking about bags and bins.
That’s the cup for today. Got a correction, a tip, or something we’re missing? Send it our way, this place only works when neighbors help build it.
