What to do with Yard Debris…especially after a storm

After the passing of big storms, we know that everyone will be hard at work cleaning up yard debris, etc. from your yards. The Public Works Department has issued a reminder
asking citizens NOT to rake or blow leaves or other yard debris into the streets. Doing so will clog up the storm drains which will lead to flooding that could severely damage personal
property. Please do your part to keep the yard debris out of the street by bagging them for proper pick-up.

The Town will collect stacks of brush, not exceeding 4’ x 4’, from the curbside. Loose debris,vines and leaves must be bagged in biodegradable bags and must not exceed 30 lbs. The Town’s recycler only accepts biodegradable bags which can be purchased at most retailers, including Watson’s Hardware in town.

Please contact the Public Works Department at 331-1410 with questions regarding any other items prior to leaving it out for collection. You can arrange for a special pick-up by contacting the Utility Clerk Kathy Fraas at 757-331-6901.
