• Harrisonburg Public Works Officials pick up Holiday Trash in the Friendly City (whsv.com) — Harrisonburg’s Public Works crews are tackling the post‑Christmas trash surge and asking residents to separate recyclables, especially cardboard, from regular household waste. Officials urge people to save cardboard for Friday collection and remind anyone with overflow trash that they can buy extra‑bag stickers from the treasurer’s office or Water Department to keep pickups running smoothly.
