bulk collection

Due to last week’s Tropical Storm Isaias, high volumes of storm debris may delay bulk collections in your neighborhood. Storm debris is being collected separately from regular bulk waste. Be sure to place your regular bulk waste out for your regular collection day. Tree contractor debris is prohibited for curb pickup. The tree contractor is responsible for disposing of the debris. To review the bulk collections schedule visit the Solid Waste Division website.    A portion of your street may be collected one day, while the rest of the street may be collected on another day. Storm debris is being picked up seven days a week.   To ensure Public Works provides the most efficient waste collection services follow these guidelines: Set out storm debris as soon as possible.Separate vegetative storm debris from other bulk waste. Be sure to place the debris three feet from other objects (such as vehicles, fences, other bulk waste, carts or fencing).Do not to set out any items under power lines, trees or any low hanging objects. Park cars in driveways versus the street, when possible.   For more information call 757-933-2311.

We were able to open the pool only 2 hours later than normal thanks to the hard work of our lifeguards and my assistant pool manager, Connor.

Village Green Flag Football team started by neighborhood kids

/in , , /by

This young man decided to get with his brother and start a flag football team. With the approval of the VGCA Board they have been practicing on VGCA property under the power lines for 1.5 weeks now. The group had their first game on Sat, Aug 8 at 10am. Parents lined the sidelines and cheered them on too. Ages range from 7-13 yrs old and its boys and girls. If you live in VGCA and have children interested in joining, please stop by around 10am on the days they practice…usually 3-4 days a week. Games will be on Saturdays from what they have told me.

Just another thing that makes Village Green a great place to live!

Area by the tennis courts received some much needed attention this past week.

Thanks to a group of folks that came out last Sunday afternoon and after TS Isaias on Tuesday to work on clearing brush and removing a tree that fell from a neighbor’s yard. The team still has more work to do, but we are committed to cleaning the area up so it can be enjoyed once again. Thanks for all the hard work!

Sun, 8/2 @ 3pm: VGCA tennis court and surrounding areas clean up

/in , , /by

On Sunday, Aug 2 beginning around 3pm, we will be attempting to get the area by the tennis courts cleaned up. If you can come out to help that would be very much appreciated. Shoes pants and gloves are recommended as it’s quite overgrown and some poison ivy has been spotted out there. We hope to see many of you there. Bring shovels, rakes, garbage bags, and gloves to help. Weedeaters, chainsaw, hedge clippers, blowers, and lawnmowers might be helpful too.
