Spring cleanup begins Sunday night, April 17, 2016

City-wide spring cleanup begins Sunday night, April 17 On Sunday night, April 17, 2016, around 10:00 p.m., crews will begin the annual city-wide spring cleanup operation sweeping the entire street network including back lanes over the next five to six weeks. Crews will initially focus on the downtown area, major routes, bridges and overpasses. Avoid a ticket and tow To assist in efficient street cleaning operations, temporary "no parking" signs will be placed on some streets to restrict on-street parking during scheduled cleaning times. Please note that not all streets will be signed during spring cleanup. The City will only sign the streets where parked vehicles present a problem to street cleaning. When these signs are in place, motorists are encouraged to find alternate parking during the posted times to avoid being ticketed or towed. How can you help? Citizens are urged not to rake yard waste material or other debris onto streets as this can plug drains and cause ponding problems as well as increase the risk of basement flooding. Debris should be put out for regular garbage collection. Compostable yard waste material (e.g., grass clippings, leaves) can be placed out for yard waste collection in any reusable containers without a lid, cardboard boxes, or paper yard waste bags.
