City of Pinehurst garbage pickup changes

The City of Pinehurst will continue residential garbage pickups twice a week until Jan. 5. Afterwards, Republic Services will be furnishing a 96 gallon polycart for garbage services.

The polycarts will be delivered to residences beginning on Dec. 14. This service will be a one day per week service, with pickup on Tuesday, starting Jan. 5. Garbage should be out by 7 am.

Heavy trash and bulk items, including white goods, will be collected from residences at curbside on Tuesday, starting Jan. 5, with a limit of two per household. Heavy trash/bulk consists of domestic waste generated from a typical household, such as appliances and furniture that precludes the resident from placing it in the container.
