Have you started seeing leaves piling up on the sides of the streets in your neighborhood? On Monday, loose leaf collection started in Greensboro for the final time. This is the last year that city crews will pick up loose leaves curbside. Next year, a new system will be in place to make it more efficient and safer. By July, the city will deliver a 95-gallon bin that is similar to the trash and recycling. You can immediately start to fill it with leaves, sticks and other yard waste to put at your curb for weekly pick up.
Black Friday is happening early at Amazon. Officials at Amazon announced Monday that the commerce giant’s Black Friday event will begin on Friday, Nov. 17, a whole week ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This will give Amazon customers more days to shop than last year’s event, when Amazon began their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day. According to a news release, new deals will be available as often as every five minutes during select periods throughout the Black Friday sales event, so officials urge Amazon customers that they should be checking back to find new deals.
