Staunton residents who want to dispose of large, bulky items during the city’s fall heavy trash collection must have those items placed curbside no later than 7 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 8.
Crews will collect items over a two-week period, with all pickups completed by Friday, Sept. 19. There will not be a separate bulky brush collection period.
