Last call for storm debris
this Saturday, July 31
|
|
The storm debris dumpsite at 9909 Portal Road will be open July 31, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., for a "last call" on storm cleanup.
Just like before, the site will accept tree and vegetation storm debris only. Open to La Vista and Papillion residents, residents of La Vista and Papillion SIDs and residents in unincorporated areas with Papillion and La Vista addresses.
Our Public Works crews are working their away across the City this week performing curbside pickup of debris, but in case you are located outside the City limits or that curbside option doesn’t work for you, this will give you one more chance to get rid of those leaves and branches.

The 2021 summer reading theme is Tails and Tales! This summer, we encourage you to explore the world of life around us and find out what is special about so many of the animals who live with us on our little blue planet.
Along with virtual programming, we will offer a goal-based reading program to help the community build, maintain and increase reading skills and build knowledge.
We are using an internet-based system called Reader Zone, which is an app that can be downloaded and used to log all reading.
Once downloaded, enter in our special program code v436r, and you will be registered. Reader Zone participants can start logging their books or minutes starting on June 1. Materials read prior to June 1 do not count for this program.
Prizes for completing the reading goal will be given out in early August. We hope you will join us for another exciting summer reading program and learn a tale or two about different animals!
