Our leaf pickup machine is not ready for operation, so please deliver your leaves to the DPW garage drop area, or put in your yard refuse container with an X on it, beginning April 1st. Please cooperate with the CDC posted COVID-19 guidelines. Please be safe as we go through the coming weeks to get through this safely. Check on your neighbor and the elderly to see if they need anything. Click to read more and see the full newsletter.
