Around Town: Yard cleanup, office closures, tax bill due

Winter Leaf, Yard Waste, and Brush Collection

The City’s Department of Public Works has been working hard to complete loose leaf collection before snow and ice make a more permanent appearance this winter. It is anticipated that, weather permitting, the DPW will finish collection on the remaining streets and in the remaining neighborhoods by the end of the day on Friday, December 17th.

The remaining timeline for winter leaf, yard waste, and brush collection are as follows:
– Monday, November 29th was the last day for bagged compost collection by Waste Management.
– If you have bagged your leaves, please keep the leaves bagged. Please bag all remaining leaves. Bagged leaves will be picked-up by the DPW on December 22nd, January 5th, and January 19th. Please place bags at the curb the night before.
– Brush/Limb collection by the DPW will take place on December 22nd, January 5th, and January 19th.
