Harrison to delay regular trash collection for Friday customers during the holidays

With Christmas and New Year’s Day falling on Friday this holiday season, Harrison Industries will delay its regular Friday trash collection; Harrison’s Friday customers will have their trash collected those weeks on Saturdays, Dec. 26 and Jan. 2. The holidays will not affect Monday through Thursday customers.

Special holiday features offered

For two weeks after Christmas, residents may put out twice the amount of trash at no extra charge. Please make sure the trash is in bags. Harrison will also collect extra recyclables, but customers are asked to flatten all boxes.

As another special holiday feature, Harrison is making it easy for customers to recycle their Christmas trees. All they need to do is remove the ornaments, hooks, lights, tinsel, bows, nails and tree stands, then cut the trees into sections no more than 4 feet long and place them in their yard waste barrels on their scheduled pickup days. Flocked trees also can be recycled in the yard waste barrels.

Harrison Industries serves the cities and surrounding unincorporated areas of Ventura, Ojai and Camarillo as well as the unincorporated areas of El Rio. Somis, Ojai Valley and Channel Islands beach communities as E.J. Harrison and Sons; Fillmore and surrounding unincorporated areas as Santa Clara Valley Disposal; and Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park and surrounding unincorporated areas as Newbury Disposal.
