FALL CLEAN UP WEEK NOVEMBER 6 - 10
*Please have all yard debris at the curb no later than Monday morning November 6.  Keep in mind different yard materials are picked up on different passes through town and it takes several days to complete the project.  *Bag leaves, grass clippings, garden waste and manageable brush.  *Do not mix trash or recyclables in bags of yard waste.  *Bushes, thorny brush and small limbs can be placed in piles.  Place larger limbs parallel to the street for easier grappling.  *Keep piles away from meter pits.  *Contractors YOU hire to cut down limbs or trees must haul the debris away!  *NO household junk, furniture, appliances, etc.  *Do not place fall clean up material near items that could be stolen by passersby, such as ladders, tools, mowers, etc.
