Prince William County: “Prince William County residents with curbside yard waste collection can set their Christmas trees and other holiday greenery at the curb for collection during the first two weeks of January.”

“Be sure to remove all ornaments, decorations, tinsel, nails, and the tree stand and set the empty tree and greenery at the curb for pickup as a part of yard waste collection by your waste and recycling collection service provider. The trees and greenery are processed at the Compost Facility into compost and mulch.”

The investigation revealed earlier that morning, school security personnel entered a male bathroom where they encountered students who found multiple pieces of toilet paper with derogatory/offensive language and inappropriate images written on them.

Prince William County Public Schools: “Students in C. D. Hylton High School’s Center for International Studies & Languages (CISL) program hosted a meal-packing event with Rise Against Hunger in which Hylton High students, parents, and community member volunteers packed more than 10,000 meals for people in need. Hylton High will send the meals to families and children in need across the world in schools and hospitals.”

“Rise Against Hunger is an international hunger relief non-profit organization that coordinates the packaging and distribution of food to people and families who need them the most across the globe. The organization’s mission is to create a world in which hunger doesn’t exist and Hylton students took the step to help make that mission possible. More than 100 students, parents, and volunteers came out to support the cause.


“With the recent vote to approve the controversial Prince William Digital Gateway, Prince William County is on track to become the data center capital of North America — if not the world.
