Homeowners interested in seeing the status of snow removal on our area can view VDOT's site here:

​The legend shows roads accessing our neighborhoods are in Emergency Snow Route status currently, which will certainly continue to hinder our contracted provider.

Sawyers Cluster Residents - 

Please be aware, Republic Services has discontinued residential service to our area for the time being. Please do not place trash out for removal at this time until residential serivce is resumed in our neighborhood.

Per communication today:

Republic Services will not be servicing RESIDENTIAL routes tomorrow, Wednesday January 27th. Secondary roads and neighborhood streets continue to be an issue for our large trucks. Our trucks cannot maneuver neighborhoods with minimal amounts of plowing. Our goal is to resume service as soon as possible and we are continually working with counties and VDOT on plowing updates. We are also running scout routes in an effort to resume service as soon as we can.  Please keep in mind that once service resumes, not all streets will be accessible and equipment must be placed on a cleared surface. 
Republic Services will be serving some INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL customers tomorrow. We will be prioritizing this service (i.e. hospitals, nursing homes, high-rise communities) based on need and whether the equipment is accessible by our trucks.  
Thank you and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sawyers Residents, 

The cluster has been in contact with several residents via e-mail and passed along information from our landscape company contracted to clear snow. In most cases, with average snowfall, we have been served in a timely manner.

In this instance, with such a heavy, continuous snowfall this past weekend, it seems this company is not well equipped to handle the snow removal in the time frame we would have liked to see.

The cluster recognizes that many residents have been diligently hard at work removing as much snow as possible from their own, as well as neighbors', sidewalks or parking spaces, and even the road way in areas where the plows were not able to pass at all.

Per communication from Genesis today:

We still have areas on properties that are blocked or trapped in.  We will continue to work through today and into tomorrow to try to free up these sections of properties.  We are aware of these areas and will continue to work our way to each property.

Because of these blockages we are unable to consider opening up parking and widening streets at this time.

Again, clearing has become all about tractors.  Our trucks can not push all the snow pack.  If you are able to find someone sooner than us that can tractor your property,  It might be your best opportunity.   We will be continuing to go down the list one at a time.

If homeowners have any suggestions for companies we can contract with today to help clear out the rest of the snow or spread sand/salt, please contact us via e-mail or on the cluster phone line.

Certainly, we will be looking to make alternative arrangements for future snow removal, but we would appreciate any assistance with the current situation residents can provide.

We appreciate everyone's hard work and patience.

​Sawyers Cluster Board

The board is pleased to announce that we have completed our Hang Tag Update project.

The board has hand delivered or sent by certified mail new visitor hang tags to all homeowners. These tags are intended for use by any car parking in a non-marked space. The white tags are longer with red lettering and take the place of the shorter, white with blue lettering tags.

Any vehicle, whether owner, renter, guest, vendor, etc, parked in a non-mark spot must display the new tag beginning November 1, 2015. NOTE: No tag is required when parking in the marked, reserved space for each home.

All other parking regulations, as noted in the document on the website, are still in effect.
