CHRISTMAS & NEW YEARS, 2024
12/11/24
Due to the upcoming Holidays this month, our normal routes will be having some slight changes in order to accommodate. While Tuesday routes will be unaffected on 12/24 and 12/31 (Christmas Eve & New Years Eve, respectively), we will not be running routes on Wednesday 12/25 or 1/1 (Christmas Day & New Years Day). To ensure that all of our Wednesday customers get picked up, we will be dividing the route between Thursdays and Fridays of each week.
For Thursday 12/26 & 1/2, all Thursday route customers will be picked up, as well as all Wednesday customers West of 48th St. On Friday 12/27 & 1/3, all Friday route customers will be picked up as well as Wednesday customers East of 48th St. Due to the magnitude of each route our drivers will be running longer days, and some addresses may be picked up later than usual. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to navigate this year's Holidays.
​
Have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!
THANKSGIVING DAY, 2024

As a result, we will be picking up all of our Thursday customers one day early on Wednesday, Nov. 27th. All Friday customers will be unaffected. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the scheduling update.

We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!​​
Six weeks in, and our 2024 Hearts For Uganda fundraiser is now nearly half over. We are very grateful to each and every donor, as well as those who have voiced their support for the cause.
If you have not yet donated and would like to, you can help make an impact now by clicking on the direct link below. All donations provided through this method get sent to our secondary business account, allowing us to better track incoming donations so that we can cover any charges or deductions PayPal may apply. We will cover 100% of these fees, ensuring that the full amount of your donation gets applied towards its goal.
Additionally, donations can be sent by check to our mailing address provided below. If you wish to send in a donation through this method, we ask that you please write “Hearts For Uganda” in the memo line so that we can get your donation applied accordingly.
If you have already donated or are currently unable to donate, you can also provide help by spreading the word. In sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, or even coworkers, you can assist us in raising funds for at risk and vulnerable children within Uganda.
As a reminder, any donation of $10 or more will enter your name into a drawing to win a free year of recycling. Multiple entries are allowed - a $20 donation will earn you 2 entries, $30 for 3 entries, etc.
All proceeds will be donated to the CCF Uganda, a Ugandan founded, based and run non-profit organization. This will be the third consecutive year we have partnered with them to raise money, as we whole-heartedly believe in their cause. Last year our donations helped to construct a new education center for at-risk children, as well as provide necessary materials such as school supplies. This year the main focus is providing food for the children, as well as covering further expenses for school supplies and general maintenance.
Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
