A couple of items. Tomorrow is Good Friday. We are closed. City Hall is closed. But there will be no delay with rubbish pickup.
However, Friday's brush collection will be picked up on Monday. That's usually done by the city service department. The service department reports that spring cleanup days weather permitting will take place April 20 to the twenty fourth and or April 27 to May 1. Why is that and or?
Typically on the both spring cleanups are pretty light. So we normally don't have to do the second week. We just do as needed through the week. But this year, of course, we're a little behind because of the snow last year. But we'll be out early.
So only if it's light, you won't go the second week. Okay.
