When someone mentioned that Walker Lake was still open I took a drive down and networked into all the right people that same day. I look forward to servicing this new area starting July 1st, with Fridays as the weekly pickup day.”With a July 7 first pickup day, Countryman is using the abandonment law as many customers in Walker Lake retained the previous blue refuse containers.
