The
holiday
season
can
be
a
very
busy
time,
but
we
wanted
to
remind
you
of
a
couple
of
things:
holiday.
Trees
will
be
collected,
curbside
on
your
regular
garbage
pickup
day.
Trees
must
be
free
from
ornaments
utensils
and
bags.
The
tree
must
also
have
a
composed
to
sticker
on
it,
which
are
available
dolls
or
high,
be
for
one
dollar
and
26.
A
Keep
in
mind
if
it's
paper
and
it
tears,
it's
recyclable,
save
your
ribbons,
foil,
wrap
and
bowls
for
reuse,
hard
shells,
plastic
or
styrofoam
are
not
recyclable.
Cardboard
boxes
are
recyclable
and
should
be
broken
down
to
fit
into
the
blue,
recycle
bin.
Remember
when
the
contents
are
gone,
let
the
carton
live
on.
A
If
you
have
questions
on
what's
recyclable
or
how
to
properly
dispose
of
holiday,
trees,

Last
year,
the
new
wing
plows
were
used
to
clear
the
snow
filled
streets
and
it's
proved
to
be
more
helpful,
clearing
the
streets
and
one
third
of
the
time
as
the
previous
trucks,
so
the
wing
plows
are
back.
You
are
encouraged
to
move
your
vehicle
from
neighborhood
streets
during
snow
plowing
operations.
Here
are
a
couple
things
to
keep
in
mind
for

restrictions
will
be
enforced
