HOLIDAY GARBAGE SERVICE
No pickup on Christmas Day & New Years Day
PICKUPS WILL BE ONE DAY LATE.

collecting extra trash. You may place it by your cart
for pickup. We will also collect Christmas trees placed
just behind the curb for two weeks following Christ-
mas, but please remove all lights, ornaments and
CAUTION!!!
NO HOT COALS IN THE
GARBAGE.
Our refuse collection truck had a
narrow escape a few days ago,
when the load caught fire from hot
coals that had been dis-
carded. Please be extra careful that
no hot coals are put into the gar-
bage. If you must dispose of this
type of material be sure that it is
thoroughly cold or has been
drowned before disposing into the
garbage cart.
Please write your
checks in black or
blue ink for payments made
to the City. Our check reader
does not correctly read
lighter colored ink. Thank
you for your help with this
matter.
Protect Your Pet During
Winter and Cold Weather
In our area winter is a season
of bitter cold and numbing wet-
ness. Extra precautions during
winter months will make sure
your four -footed family mem-
bers stay safe and warm.
The winter heating season is upon us, so it is a good time to remember the dangers of wood -burning appliances.
More than one-third of Americans use fireplaces, wood stoves, and other fuel -fired appliances as primary heat
sources in their homes. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the fire risks when heating with wood and solid
fuels.
Heating fires account for 36 percent of residential fires in every year. Often, these fires are due to creosote buildup
in chimneys and stovepipes. All home heating systems require regular maintenance to function safely and effi-
ciently.
