AROUND BRAMBLETON

Armstrong Direct Debit – Due to a recent bank change, direct debits are taking a little longer than usual to process. The bank is working on having all debits processed today, so the withdraw for assessments will be on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. If you have any questions, please contact hoa@brambleton.org or call 703-542-6263.

Additional Christmas Tree Recycling Date – The last date to have your Christmas trees picked up for recycling is Wednesday, January 11th. Please place trees curbside with stands, lighting and all trimmings removed. Trees in excess of 8 feet in length need to be cut in half in order to be removed by AAA crews.
