News : City asks for help with yard waste

At Thursday night's council meeting the topic of garbage, recycling and yard waste came up in discussion.

Residents are reminded that yard waste should if possible, be taken to the city brush pile just north of the bridge.

If you must dispose of it, please put it in your trash.

When it is added to a recycling bin it taints the whole truckload of recycling, requiring that the load be considered trash. This increases the amount of trash that goes into the landfill, and more that the city has to pay for garbage disposal.

So remember trash is trash and only recycle the recyclables.
