Village Issues Holiday Sanitation Notice

The Village of Hobart Department of Public Works has issued a public notice regarding sanitation services during recognized holidays.

According to the notice, garbage and recycling collection timing may be subject to a one-day delay during holiday periods. Residents are advised to plan accordingly and ensure bins are placed curbside by 6:00 AM on the applicable pickup day.

The notice was issued pursuant to the Civil Control Code Title VIII Ch. 804. Further guidance will be released if necessary by Hobart Sanitation Services.

    Funny how they wait until CHRISTMAS to “remind” us about sanitation. Ask yourself who benefits when the trash trucks stop running. Follow the money. Also Dale Bob Sr. warned us about this exact thing in 1997.

    1. Marvin Hendershot

      Dale nobody is benefiting from trash pickup schedules. It’s a holiday. People are home. You don’t need to make it about underground tunnels again.

    2. Marvin Hendershot

      Also the tunnels thing was proven take when the old Kroger flooded. Stop spreading misinformation.

      1. Dale Crummett

        Funny you mention microwaves because guess who signed off on the new transfer station equipment. Do your homework.

    3. Marvin Hendershot

      Dale Bob Sr. also said microwaves erase memories. You gonna bring that up next or are we sticking to trash?

  2. HOLLIS EVERSOLE

    THEY DID NOT PICK UP MY CAN LAST YEAR EITHER
    THIS IS A PATTERN
    OPEN YOUR EYES
    THEY WANT THE RATS

    1. Sheila Ann Combs

      Hollis, they DID pick up your can. You put it behind your shed. Again.

      1. HOLLIS T. EVERSOLE

        MY SHED IS ON MY PROPERTY
        THEY KNOW WHERE IT IS
        I PAY TAXES

  3. Birdie Hobart

    If people would stop worshipping the garbage and start worshipping GOD we wouldn’t have these problems. That said, this notice is written very rudely.

  4. Nadine Harbaugh

    Speaking of pickup HAS ANYONE HEARD WHO WON THE LITTLE LEAGUE RAFFLE YET? Because I still have tickets and nobody has contacted me.

  5. Calvin T. Mullins

    I just want to know if cardboard still goes out on Thursday or not. The notice doesn’t say and I already broke the boxes down.

    1. Nadine Harbaugh

      Cardboard was Thursday last year BUT ONLY IF YOU TIED IT. Also still no raffle update.

      1. Anonymous

        Nadine please stop using every post to ask about the raffle.

        1. Nadine Harbaugh

          People wouldn’t have to ask if the Village did its job.

  6. Eunice Fowler

    When I was at the library we managed holiday schedules just fine without making people guess. Clear communication used to mean something in this town.

  7. cabbage hatfield

    trash dont stop being trash just cuz its jesus birthday
    rats know that

  8. Benny Slater

    I saw three raccoons behind the post office last night and they were NOT acting normal. Take that how you want.

  9. Lorraine Puckett

    Easy for the Village to say this when some of us have trauma associated with missed pickups. You don’t know what people are dealing with.

  10. Marsha Kline, DDS

    Remember that holiday stress can cause jaw clenching! If you’re grinding your teeth over trash schedules, call Kline Family Dentistry!

  11. Tammy Jo Elkins

    If my trash doesn’t get picked up and it starts smelling I’m callin somebody. And it ain’t gonna be polite.

  12. Russell Cobb

    This ain’t about sanitation. Every time they change the schedule something else happens. Watch the river levels. Watch the lights on the water tower. Just sayin.

  13. GARY STUMP MULLINS

    I PUT MY TRASH OUT 3 DAYS EARLY AND IT WAS GONE WHEN I WOKE UP. EXPLAIN THAT WILL YA.

  14. Reminder: removing or interfering with another resident’s sanitation bin is a misdemeanor. Please report issues through proper channels.

    1. Russell Cobb

      Appreciate the reminder, Pete. While you’re at it maybe ask why cans are disappearing before pickup.

      1. Pete Waller

        Russell, wildlife activity increases this time of year. Please don’t speculate.

        1. Benny Slater

          those weren’t animals, they were watching

  15. Brenda Shoemaker

    Gene says the council discussed this and it was all done legally. People should be thankful anyone’s working at all.

  16. Anonymous Hussy

    Maybe if they didn’t spend all the money on “PossumFest” then we’d have more trash trucks

    1. Birdie Hobart

      Don’t bring Possum Fest into this. That festival brings JOY and also visitors.

      1. Anonymous Hussy

        Birdie I saw you buy a funnel cake like everyone else.

  17. Rev. Bill Hiscox

    A gentle reminder that cleanliness begins in the heart. Also the church dumpster is NOT for private use.

  18. Alma Jean Frobisher

    I taught half of you how to read. The notice is very clear if you slow down and stop yelling.

    1. Eunice Fowler

      Alma, clarity means consistency. The Village hasn’t managed that since the copier incident.

      1. Alma Jean Frobisher

        That copier was sabotaged and you know it.

  19. Leon Smoot

    Does anyone know if bulk pickup is affected? I got a recliner that’s been in my garage since Nixon.

    1. GARY STUMP MULLINS

      DONT PUT THE RECLINER OUT
      THEY WILL TAKE IT
      ASK ME HOW I KNOW

  20. Ida Bell Crow

    I remember when folks burned what they didn’t need and nobody complained online about it.

  21. Dale

    This is EXACTLY what they want us arguing about

  22. Harold Gunn (Village Council)

    We appreciate everyone’s patience. Please refer to the official schedule linked in the article.

    1. Lorraine Puckett

      With respect, “patience” is hard when nobody answers the phone and people have anxiety around smells.

      1. Harold Gunn

        Lorraine, the office was closed for the holiday. We will follow up next week.

        1. Anonymous Teacher

          This could have been avoided with a single clear graphic.

        2. Tammy Jo Elkins

          Next week is too late if my trash is already rank.

  23. Sheila Ann Combs

    Hollis, you moved the shed. Again.

  24. Connie Lou Riggs

    I don’t even live in village limits anymore and this is exhausting.

  25. Rev. Bill Hiscox

    Again: church dumpster is not overflow. Please stop leaving bags labeled “holiday trash.”

    1. cabbage hatfield
