Spring Cleanup Is Begins Friday
Please use the following tips to help keep our City clean:
Garbage and Trash
Never set your garbage cans out more than 18 hours prior to your day of pick-up and please place them in your side or rear yard 12 hours after pick-up
- All garbage must be bagged and in a sealed container
- If you have a major clean up, you can call the Mason County Landfill and arrange for a dumpster (759-7049)
Weeds and Tall Grass
Please keep your grass under 8 inches at all times
- cutting your grass at least once a week, leaving the clippings behind, can help you have a healthy, vibrant yard
- grass clippings are a natural fertilizer for your lawn
- never blow or sweep grass clippings into the street as they can clog up storm sewers and make sidewalks slick
- snakes and rodents like tall grass—keeping your grass cut helps to “weed” out these vermin!
Tree limbs and brush
Tree limbs (no more than 4 inches in diameter) and brush cut by the property owner can be set out near the curb for city pick-up
- The city will mulch 15 minutes worth of debris for free! (after 15 minutes, $50/hour)
