In anticipation of the snow event this weekend, crews are pre-treating streets as a proactive measure to keep roads safe and clear of snow and ice. Deployment plans are prepared for possible weekend snow operations.
The Department completed the final Leaf Collection for this season on 1/11/19. Soft yard waste pick-up will resume next week on regular trash collection days Mon-Wed. Leaves will need to be put in paper yard waste bags or they need to be in containers.
Safety Meeting held Thursday for all Department employees to review Chain Saw Safety and proper operation.
The Department and SCS, our consultant for the Solid Waste Study, presented the results and recommendations of the Bulk Trash Study to the City Council on 1/9/19.
The City has a program to reimburse the cost (up to $150.00) of approved trees on private property, it’s called the Tree Canopy Enhancement Program (TCEP).
