Columbus 2008 Trash Collection Schedule

Jan. 19, 2008

Tagged with: columbus ohio, holidays, trash

Just in time for the first holiday of the year... or actually the second, New Years Day there was no trash pick up in Columbus.

The 2008 Columbus Trash Collection Schedule is out! I had checked a couple of times since the first of the year and the 2008 Schedule was not yet posted.

Monday is a holiday... there is no trash pick up on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and our trash pick up day goes back a day. The Navy area (the north side) goes back to Thursday this week.

The Columbus Trash Collection chart (more properly called the "2008 Refuse Collection Schedule") is colorful this year... doesn't just say Navy, Gold, Ruby, Pink... what is the 5th? It shows the colors...

Next up? Presidents Day... Remember these words of wisdom ..."Your collection day is not affected by Good Friday or Veteran's Day holidays."

Kwaanza

Tagged with: columbus ohio, holidays, ohio public library information network, winter, wishes

The Ohio Public Libray Information Network says Kwaanza is "December 26 to January 1st this year" Or I hope this is 2007...

More winter holiday info including Kwaanza from the Instructional Technology Services of Central Ohio, Inc.

WOSU shares more about the traditional symbols of this winter holiday and others,
Signs of the seasons: Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, Christmas and Kwanzaa all have traditional holiday symbols talks about the "'kinara' with candles representing the seven principles of Kwanzaa." The article from Public Radio continues:

The holiday is rooted in African culture and celebrates positive life principles and harvest time. Kwanzaa, which is celebrated over seven days, will begin this year on Dec. 26.

Although Kwanzaa isn't a religious holiday, it is based on life principles that are tenets of many religions. "

Experience Columbus may have information about Central Ohio Kwaanza events. It has other years...

I love Lucy

I love Lucy ... St. Lucia... I know Scandinavian people ... below says the Swedish, celebrate this holiday. Like many winter holidays this one is about lights.

Ohio Public Library Information Network gives a link to SANTA LUCIA - THE Queen of Lights and says:

"Throughout Sweden the feast day of Lucia, or Lucy, is celebrated as a festival of lights. In the early hours of the morning of December 13 a young woman, dressed in a white gown, and wearing a red sash and a crown of lingonberry twigs and blazing candles, would go from one farm to the next carrying a torch to light her way, bringing baked goods, stopping to visit at each house and returning home by break of day. Every village had its own Lucia. The custom is thought to have begun in some of the richer farming districts of Sweden and still persists although the crowns are now electric lights."

I am not sure anyone in Central Ohio celebrates Santa Lucia but just in case... Discover Columbus will. Happy Santa Lucia Day...
