Additional Important Information:-
AAA is also known as Republic. It is possible the trucks that come
through our community will only have the Republic logo, so to not
confuse folks we might want to emphasize the duel name.
- White metal materials (refrigerators, stoves, etc.) will be picked up separately on Wednesdays - please schedule ahead.
