My ashes are put in a metal can with a lid two days after the fire is out and sit INSIDE the fireplace for the rest of the week. I don't care who begs me to move it someplace else so they can start another fire. There was an incident, not too far from us, Pac-Fan, where people moved ashes out of the fireplace using a PLASTIC can and stored in the garage next to flamables. Lucky for them they had a neighbor who saw the smoke before the fire got too big.

You must have slept in Pac-Fan because he was running about an hour later than he usually runs.

I heard them go by earlier and realized I missed the boat. Then I heard them make another pass and I went out running and whistling. Luckily he heard me....

We also store our hot ashes in a metal container with a lid. I have a spot for it outside, away from the house in a snow bank. I try and clean our stove out if we have not had a fire for a few days. Usually after a trip to grandma's....

I just waved down the CR&R man. I also thought they'd be pushed up a day. $:-\$

I had ashes to dump and told him they had been sitting for a week. He told me he has seen three melted cans so far this year. Usually he said he'll see that many during the whole winter...

People need to properly dispose of their ashes!

I just read this on ABC

"An elderly man has come forward and admitted to accidentally starting a blaze that burned nearly 3,200 acres and forced the evacuation of 10,000 people in Reno, Nev., officials said today.

Reno Fire Chief Michael Hernandez said the man, who has yet to be identified, came forward Friday on his own and confessed to improperly discarding fireplace ashes outside of his home in the north end of the Washoe Valley, about 20 miles south of town."

I sort of guess that people that have never had a fireplace ,, much less lived in a high fire danger area.. do not know about the danger of ashes. They will smolder a bit in your fireplace for a day or two after the fire seems long out.

Perhaps we need a slogan... something like "SAVE YOUR ASH."
Course, that doesn't tell them what to do with it. Maybe "Can Your Ash." (CYA) I dunno. best, cheryl o7o

I hate to belabor this year after year. I know Wrightwood posted the holidays, but when I was at Jensen's on Monday, the cashier said that her trash got picked up on MONDAY which was Memorial day. I was going to take my trash out tomorrow but don't want to miss the guys if they are doing their usual pickup. Just as I had asked before, can someone who had their trash picked up on schedule on Monday and Tuesday verify the trash pickup day for me?

Wrightwood · « **Reply #167 on:** May 28, 14, 06:25:08 AM »

This remains correct:
If the holiday falls during the week, collection for the remainder of the week is one day behind.

If your trash is normally scheduled to be picked up on Tuesday, then it will be 1 day later or a Wednesday pickup.

I just call CR&R to see if the trash pickup is going to be delayed. They take off some holidays and not others. And, they always have a recording on the phone to tell you if your trash pickup will be delayed. cheryl o7o

They had me panicking this morning because a CR&R truck came up my street at 8. I rushed to the window and it was the one that empties the dumpsters. My neighbor has a dumpster outside. Then I talked to a person at the office and they confirmed that Wednesday pickup days will be on Thursday because of Memorial Day.

Note. Wrightwood, when I do a search for CR&R, it never finds anything. Why?

Wrightwood · « **Reply #170 on:** May 28, 14, 04:09:14 PM »

It must be the ampersand the search engine doesn't like. I tried CRR and it worked

Okay. Thank you!!

I do this every time there is a holiday to check and I'll have to remember that trick.

My normal trash pick up day is Wednesday. This week, it will be Thursday.

Domingo · « **Reply #179 on:** Jan 20, 19, 06:11:40 PM »

Just a reminder, there IS trash pickup tomorrow. With all the bumper-to-bumper traffic coming up to WW tomorrow morning, I can imagine that the trashmen are also going to be frustrated with the snowplayers like many of us.
