The city picks up windfall tree limbs. etc. They must be placed at the curb. They announce in the paperrs and on several of the radio stations what day they'll be in which area of town. Yard waste is handled by one of the trash haulers on contract to the city. Leaves, clippings, etc. must be placed in special bags bought at hardware stores, lumber yards, and some grocery stores. Ooops, just looked at the requirements and that's not true any longer. "Grass clippings, leaves, weeds, plant trimmings and small twigs are considered yard waste and must be placed into paper lawn bags. Plastic bags or bags containing anything other than yard waste will not be collected." The mentioned places still sell the required bags with proceeds going to the city's yard waste program. But, you are allowed to "do your own thing" so long as it's not in plastic. DD> 8<----- EDIT -----.8 DD> Sounds like "bread & butter" pickles.

Our three companies cover the whole area. Some of my neighbours use Lake Area, some use Republic, and some use WM. You can tell from the colour of the wheelie bin at the curb. Bv)= Speaking of yead waste .... you might want to replave the beer in this recipe with mushroom stock or vegemte/marmite mixed w/water.
