The city will collect yard waste placed in paper bags on your regular trash collection day. The city will NOT collect yard waste on bulk collection day. Yard waste placed in plastic bags WILL NOT be picked up at any time, nor should it be taken to the Southfield Yard. The plastic is not biodegradable like the brown paper bags. Yard waste may also be placed in personal cans that do not exceed 32 gallons. Tree limbs should be less than 2 inches in diameter and no more than 4 feet long, in a neat pile.

The FWDCA would like everyone to be aware that the issues with this snowfall were not caused by our contractor. The FWDCA contractor was out plowing around 1 a.m. Sunday and finished sometime in the early morning hours. As of 8 a.m. the streets looked good, sometime between 9 and 11 a.m. a city contractor came through making their 10 foot pass, this resulted in a mess on most streets south of Tireman. On Bramell and Chatham by the school this was compounded by the fact that the school clears all their snow into the street.
