Yard Waste Pick Up

Check your water bill today for yard waste pick up information! I was wondering why our street is (and has been) lined with yard waste, now I understand. They have instruction for proper disposal/setting out of yard waste. They want it laid out, cut end first, on the grass in an orderly fashion. They won't pick up "piles" of yard waste in the street (or anywhere else). The only want tree limbs. Ornamental grasses/ weeds/ vines/ debris/ small sticks go in the trash. We also have a new monthly rate of $13.26 for waste service. If you have questions or a large tree/ item pick up you can call 229-8533.

Has anyone seen the truck? One neighbor had his sticks just like the city requested for 3 weeks, no pickup, he finally just had to put them in the trash......I saw an elderly lady walking 1/2 the block clearing up the brush in the street. Thanks! Looks like the city has abandoned the yard waste pick up? Anyone know?

I learned they only come once a month in the summer. Thanks to the neighbors who cleaned up the brush, even though it was not in front of your house! That is community! Way to go!
