Hi District 29 Residents,
We are in AREA 4. It's time to get your brush to the curb ASAP! Per Public Works....
Metro Nashville Public Works Department will begin Brush and Leaf collections in our area on 1/26/2011.
To ensure that your brush will be collected, you should have limbs and all other yard waste out and ready for pick-up on the date above. Place only limbs, branches and true yard waste by the curb for brush crews. Lumber, household trash and other types of debris found in your brush pile means it won't get picked up. Brush piles should not be placed close to mailboxes, utility poles, fences, trees or other stationary objects. The mechanical arm of the knuckle boom truck needs enough room to lift the brush pile up and into the trailer pulled behind the truck.
Place leaves in biodegradable paper bags only. Paper biodegradable bags can be purchased at most hardware stores, Wal-Mart's, Target, Home Depot, etc. Public Works also has a supply of these bags available for purchase at the Omohundro Convenience Center: 5 bags for $3.00 and 10 bags for $6.00. Plastic bags will not be picked up.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 615-880-1000 or visit Brush Do's and Don'ts.
See the attached map for future dates as well. Please share this information with your neighbors!
All Maps - Dates of Pickup and Much More Information can be found at: Public Works
Gratefully,
Vivian

BREAKING NEWS - Federal Judge In Virginia Strikes Down Health Care Mandate
Channel 5 - Breaking News
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A federal judge in Virginia has declared part of the Obama administration's health care reform law unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson is the first judge to rule against the law, which has been upheld by two others in Virginia and Michigan.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed the lawsuit challenging the law's requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a penalty starting in 2014.
He argues the federal government doesn't have the constitutional authority to impose the requirement.
Other lawsuits are pending, including one filed by 20 states in a Florida court. Virginia is not part of that lawsuit.
The U.S. Justice Department and opponents of the health care law agree that the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final word.

Tenn 911 centers to install texting system
The Associated Press
Posted 12/12/2010 1:20 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee's 911 dispatch centers will soon be installing new digital equipment capable of receiving texts, but officials say it may be a while before the system works effectively.
Tennessee is one of several states working to install the Next Generation 911 statewide. Besides texting, the new system will also allow picture and video messages. Installation is scheduled to begin next month and is expected to be completed within 12 to 18 months.
Duane Phillips works at a 911 center in Tennessee. He told WPLN-FM that 911 is a 10 digit number like everything else, "so when you dial 911 it actually goes to the phone company who reverts that to us over our 10 digit number."
Officials said getting a text message to make that sort of conversion is up to phone companies that offer messaging services. There are 14 of them in Tennessee and nearly 200 nationwide.
Rex Hollaway, who directs technical services for Tennessee's 911 system, said emergency texting should be uniform across state lines. He said that means state agencies and phone companies getting on the same page.
"Because ... I travel all over the place, I don't want my phone to work in this state or this county and not work in the next state," Hollaway said.
However, Chris Walker, director of public affairs for AT&T in Tennessee, said texting was never meant to be used for an emergency.
"It's easy to send a text and say, 'I'm picking up groceries,'" he said. "But if that message doesn't get through, it's not life threatening."
Many emergency officials wonder if the Federal Communications Commission will need to step in to make new mandates for cell phone companies before the new system will work.
"We're not even sure if we are going to regulate 911, if we are going to regulate texting or if texting will play a role in NG911," said Patrick Donovan, an attorney in the FCC's 911 rules division. "We certainly hope it will."
