Placement Instructions

  • Tree Waste should be placed adjacent to the front curb in a location easily accessible to the collection vehicle between the hours of 6:00 p.m. the Friday before and 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.
  • Tree Waste and Junk Waste should not be stacked under low overhead electrical wires or other cabling, signs, or mailboxes; next to fences or posts; or on top of water meters, gas meters, fire hydrants, or other exposed utility components.
  • Materials should not be placed in the street, on the sidewalk, or other right-of-way, or in any manner which would interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

Volunteers Needed to Make a Difference 

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time they just have the heart”

Volunteers are crucial to maintain and improve our community. Juan, Michelle and Rick from our community came together on August 3rd to mow the front and back yard of the abandoned home located in Oak Meadows at 827 Ogilvie. They all worked collaboratively in collecting the heavy trash and debris in order go over the tall grass with a riding lawn mower. Finally the trash was collected by the Solid Waste Department. 

We are in need of volunteers for this yard to be cleaned monthly in order to keep our area clean and beautiful. Together we can work together to properly care for our community.
