North Franklin Avenue and Stevens Street Resurfacing

The following is a message from the Streets Division regarding this Sunday’s yard waste pickup:

If you are putting out yard waste for the Sunday, May 11 set out date, the Streets Division needs you to put your yard waste into bags when setting it out for pickup. You can use compostable paper leaf bags or plastic bags. Make sure you keep the bags open at the top. Due to the ongoing construction, crews cannot collect loose piles.

Residents can continue to bring yard waste to a Streets Division drop-off site as well.
