glass, and motor oil. Please do not drop off regular trash or bulk trash
items you are subject to a citation and a fine. Please respect our rules
and regulations. Also please note there are no containers for plastic
bottles or bi-metal cans, please recycle at your curbside pick-up.
The Public Works
Department provides "leaf
collection" in the spring
as well as the fall. Please place all leaves out between the curb and
sidewalk. If you do not have a curb please place them on the grass by the
edge of the road. This allows the leaves to dry and the machines can pick
them up easier and quicker than if the leaves are placed out in the road
(paved surface)
The Public Works Department
needs to make adjustments in normal schedules for all collections. The
schedule changes due to Holidays are provided here.
Thank You for your co-operation.
