Streets Department Updates
Attached is a press release about the yard waste sites opening extended hours this Saturday. We will also begin Brush Collection and the Spring Yard Waste and Leaf Collection on Monday April 6th. I will be sending out a press release with more detailed information on the Brush and Leaf collections next week.
We currently have a few crews out doing leaf and brush collections. This is not part of the regular efforts but something we are doing as we have staff and equipment available.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
