NEW FOR THIS SPRING - THE MUNICIPALITY HAS CONTRACTED A WOOD CHIPPING COMPANY TO CHIP ALL BRUSH PILES IN THE MUNICIPALITY.

LEAVES SHOULD BE COMPOSTED AND NOT PUT OUT ON THE PILES.

FREE WOOD CHIPS CAN BE TAKEN BY RESIDENTS FROM THE STOCKPILE AT THE PUBLIC WORKS YARD. BRING YOUR OWN CONTAINERS AND SHOVELS.

WE ARE ALSO PLANNING TO PICKUP BRUSH ON A REGULAR BASIS DURING THE SUMMER. BRUSH SHOULD BE BUNDLED IN 4 FOOT LENGTHS, TIED IN MANAGEABLE PILES AND PLACED NEAR THE EDGE OF THE ROAD ALLOWANCE. OUR PUBLIC WORKS WILL PICKUP THE BRUSH ONCE PER WEEK SEPARATE FROM THE GARBAGE PICKUP.
