FALL CLEANUP: Our fall cleanup started on October 19th and finished October 21. Thank you to those that followed the guidelines in this effort. In total, 40 truck–loads were hauled away. If you have items that you need to discard, please note that we have a dumpster on the west side of Silo Park off of North Front & C Street until Nov. 16th. The dumpster will be returned sometime in March. After the dumpster is removed, no items can be dropped off on the ground at the site. The area is under camera surveillance and there will be fines if found dumping. *Please do not fill alleys after fall city clean–up until two weeks before the next fall clean–up in October 2021. Storing debris is a violation of city code 3-1-13:A. *
GARBAGE RATE INCREASES: You will see an increase to the garbage rates in the November utility bill. The total increase is $3.15. The increase to keep city cleanup is $1.20 and there is a $1.95 increase to the garbage can monthly fee. Second can and dumpster rates have also increased. You may call city hall for more information on those other rates.
