Sanitation Service Disruptions in The Villages

Residents of The Villages, Florida, will experience disruptions to their sanitation services this week, according to an announcement by Jacobs, the company responsible for waste management in the area. Services scheduled for Thursday, October 10, have been canceled for all residents, except those living in the Town of Lady Lake and the unincorporated areas of Lake County. Affected residents will have their garbage collected on Saturday, October 12.

Additionally, bulk waste pickups by Jacobs have also been suspended for the remainder of the week. Residents needing bulk item pickups can arrange for the service in the following week by contacting Utility Billing Customer Service. The contact number for scheduling these pickups is (352)750-0000.

This announcement comes amidst broader discussions in the community of The Villages about various local issues, as indicated by recent letters to the editor in a local news outlet. Residents have shared diverse opinions, ranging from the area’s growth to national political matters, reflecting the dynamic and engaged nature of the community.

Despite the temporary inconvenience, Jacobs assures residents that regular service schedules will resume promptly and encourages those needing assistance or having questions to reach out through the provided customer service contact.
