Just as soon as Republic had finally gotten somewhat back on track, then the winter weather hit earlier this week. Republic’s website reflects our neighborhood’s schedule is back on track for trash collection, with recycling scheduled for every other week. According to the published schedule, our next recycling pick-up is scheduled for January 28. The message on Republic’s website indicates property owners will be notified on Thursday evenings if there will be a change to recycling on Friday. Be sure you have listed your phone number on your account with Republic so you can receive text messages or phone calls in the event of a schedule change.
A call to Republic today indicated they are on a one-day delay this week, due to the snow on Monday. Our best guess is that our (trash only) collection will be delayed until Saturday, but we cannot be certain due to mixed messages from Republic’s own communications. Our covenants inspector will not be citing any individual homeowners if trash cans (only) are left out on Friday and on Saturday. Please remove cans from the street at least by Saturday, depending on collection. Recycling cans should not be left out until Friday, January 28.

Two Gwinnett County solid waste haulers, Republic Services and Waste Management are temporarily suspending certain collection services due to a surge in COVID-19 infections among their workforces.
Republic Services and Waste Management customers will be impacted by service interruptions differently. Here’s how:
Republic Services has resumed limited recycling services based on staff availability. Republic will notify customers on the evening prior to recycling to inform customers that recycling will be serviced the next day. At this time pickup of bulky items and yard waste remains suspended in order to prioritize trash collection while its workforce is limited. During this temporary service interruption, Republic Services customers in Gwinnett County may continue to take their recycling, bulky items, or household trash to a drop-off site at one of the following locations at no cost to the customer:
