REMINDER: DON’T LEAVE YOUR GRASS CLIPPINGS/LEAVES/BRUSH CURBSIDE

             The recent heavy rains heavily taxed the City’s storm sewers. You can help in the future by taking
your grass clippings and yard waste to the City’s compost site.  Curbside pick-up of yard waste and leaves ended in April.  Brush curbside pick-up ended in June.  All leaves, yard-waste and brush can be taken to the Yard Waste Drop-Off Site
open for residents convenience.  Please click here for more detailed information on the Yard Waste Drop-Off Site.
