The Fourth of July is on Sunday this year, which has moved Fun Fourth in Downtown Greensboro to Saturday, July 3, and the officially recognized city holiday to Monday, July 5.
For Greensboro residents with Monday trash and recycling pickup, that means all the refuse from Independence Day celebrations won’t be picked up until Tuesday, July 6, and those with Tuesday pickup have an extra day to get their trash to the street because it won’t be picked up until Wednesday, July 7.
Greensboro residents with Thursday and Friday pickup will see no change in the schedule.

The city bus service operated by the Greensboro Transit Agency (GTA) will operate on a Saturday schedule, hourly from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., but Route 11 will not serve the Guilford Technical Community College campus in Jamestown. Access GSO will also operate on a Saturday schedule on Monday, July 5.

After placing call, you need to follow the prompts that will connect you to the water resources dispatcher.
What a sham. It isn’t even a holiday. They should be closed Sunday if they were American Believers, just sayin!
I am not surprised. The intersection of Guilford College Rd. & W. Market is still closed to the south. Yesterday was promised.
I am about to pop, as yesterday was promised.
Land-O-Goshen! Speaking of sneaky, I just recd my 6/21 edition of the Spectrum-neakies-in-chief monthly statement. ANOTHER stealth increase. Well, maybe not too sneaky this time – ONLY $8.35. I guess they got careless; the increase put it up to the next $10 level – which I did not fail to notice.
So, a year ago, it was $132.10, then $135.26, then $140.26, then $145.60, then $153.95. I figure 16.5%. Anyone get an after-tax raise of 16.5% in the last year? Well Spectrum did. A little bit of this, and a little bit of that. The most annoying of all is the $12.95 charge for broadcast TV. We have an antenna, we neither want or need this.
We don’t even have tier one, just broadcast plus 20 channels (most of which we don’t want).
Anyone suggest another choice?
More from the Spectrum of Sneak. Back in Feb, I recd a $17.73 discount for sports-related Covid shutdowns. Well, shut my mouth! I haven’t signed up for any ESPN-ie things. But all this time, I have been paying for it. How about taking that off my bill since inception? Hmmm?
After seeing this, I had a feeling that the hammer was about to drop (on my checkbook). Yup, the latest Stealth-o-Rama.
So when we turn the Idiot Box on, we get Super-Sneak channel 1. Every break, The Sultan of Sneak tells us that we get the same great service at the same low price. What-a-Whopper! I politik speak, this is called the BIG LIE. Tell it often enough, and people believe it.
Fed up in NC
Just cancel. You aren’t learning anything from those services anyway.
Well, yeah. Broadcast TV is fine. Where do we get internet? No North State, No Cox, only (sigh) an AT&T “bundle” with lots of gotchas.
Weren’t you also complaining about the government providing people access to internet? You clearly don’t think people need internet….
Use your cell phone as a hotspot. Go to the library. Just cancel those services, why do YOU need internet anyway? Your hot takes will keep you warm and informed.
Ah! You missed the point, again. My complaint is govt providing internet access to only certain people, of which I am not. So you and I have to pay for that, too; unless you qualify.
Whether or not I need internet is my decision, not yours. I don’t care how your run your life, leave me to mine.
