Grass Clippings:

If you’re bagging your grass clippings, you’re not doing your back or the environment any favors! If you use a lawn mower with a mulching blade, leave the grass clippings lay on the ground for a greener, healthier yard.  Rather than bagging all of those grass clippings, leave the clippings lay on your lawn. It is best to mow frequently so the large amounts of leaf and grass residue do not remain on the surface of the turf.  Grass clippings are a natural fertilizer for our grass as they contain a large number of the nutrients our lawn needs to it keep looking healthy.  Don’t waste your money on expensive lawn fertilizers.  Reduce your yard work and yard waste all while saving water (grass clippings are 85% water).  In the end, you’ll have greener grass and a wallet with more green in it!

PUBLIC NOTICE

We cannot stress how dangerous this was and we need to express in the most serious way possible that this cannot happen for many reasons with resident safety being the most important.  This is especially important to tell your children  since school will soon be on summer break.

DO NOT APPROACH A TRUCK THAT IS IN THE ACT OF DUMPING THE CONTAINER INTO THE COMPACTION AREA.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET THE OPERATORS ATTENTION WHILE THEY ARE OPERATING THE COMPACTION MECHANISM OR THE ARM THAT DUMPS THE CARTS

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO THROW ITEMS INTO THE COMPACTION AREA OF THE TRUCK

The last thing Republic Services or the municipality wants is for a resident to be injured or potentially killed in the process of Republic collecting a residents trash or recycling materials.

Thank you for your attention to this very serious safety concern.
