Yard Waste Pickup

We are asking all residents to have yard waste to the curb by 7 am on Monday each week. A yard waste truck will collect it throughout the week. We will not be using the term "on your yard waste day". This will enable the truck to move ahead of schedule if he is finished with a section of town and vice versa. This will provide them with an option if the collection is extra heavy to continue in that section of town until it's collected and then move to the next section of town. As with our trash and recycle misses, we ask that residents call on Thursday to be added to the missed list for Friday.
