- To facilitate an efficient clean-up process, citizens are kindly asked to follow these guidelines:
· Place debris at the curb, within the right of way
· Do not place debris near mailboxes, water meters, or fencing
· Do not place debris piles near power lines pr overhanging trees
· Do not place piles near parked cars, fire hydrants or poles.
Please note that the machinery used to pick up debris is large and require clear access. Obstructed piles may cause delays and could result in items not being picked up.
