Trash and Recycling Delays:

Due to Winter Storm Hernando, trash and recycling will be delayed one day. Trash should be collected on Thursday, February 26th and recycling should be collected on Friday, February 27th.

Do not place your containers on top of snow piles and make sure your containers do not have snow on the lids.

Storm Response:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many residents who removed your vehicles from the roadway in advance of this storm. Moving your vehicles helped tremendously with plow operations. Also a big thank you to the residents who did not throw snow into the roadway.  Also a big shoutout to the residents who were understanding during this storm.

To the residents who acted badly, stopped the plows while they were clearing roads, threw things at the DPW trucks or yelled obscenities at our crews; please know it is against the law to interfere with City employees as they perform their duties.  In the future, residents who harass DPW employees while performing their duties are subject to summonses.

Please know, when the City declares a Snow Emergency, the stated end time in the emergency declaration is when plows are estimated to be done clearing the roads. 

It is not the intent of ANY DPW employee to “plow-in” any driveways but if you clear your driveway prior to the plows finishing your road, please know the snow will roll off the end of the plow into your driveway.  Again this is not intentional, it is just how the plow operates.  We attempt to minimize the effects but with this much snow, it has no other place to go other than the opening you created.

 

 

Yard Waste Notice:

The City can not pick up yard waste in anything other than clear bags.  Please do not use black or green contractor’s bags nor the brown paper leaf bags for your yard waste.

Do not mix sticks, vines, nor trash in with your grass clippings and leaves.  These items should be placed in your regular trash collection with the exception of branches and tree limbs. 

Chipping of brush will take place on Tuesdays, weather permitting.  Please do not park in front of brush left curbside for chipping. Public Works will not drag tree limbs around vehicles. 

Please make sure all brush is facing the same direction.  Brush piles that are tangled, mixed with vines or other debris, will not be chipped.  This is for the safety of our personnel and the efficiency of operation. 

Brush to be chipped should be no less than four (4) feet in length and no more than six (6) inches in diameter.  We cannot take stumps or bamboo.  If you or someone you hire cut down any trees, you are required to make arrangements for the removal of the material.  The City will no longer chip brush left from tree removal and/or lot clearing.

Brush chipping operations are only for general property maintenance and storm debris.  Piles of brush should be neatly stacked, and single piles shall not exceed 3 feet in height, and 12 feet in length per week.  At no time, shall brush block sidewalks or travel lanes of roadways.

Grass and leaves, in clear bags, are picked up on Mondays & Fridays and chipping operations are on Tuesdays from the first week of March through mid October; weather permitting.
