Reminder:
The street department in Lincoln
started the city's leaf pickup program on Nov. 3.
The leaves must
be put in biodegradable paper bags. No brush. City crews will leave
any brush at the curb, and the resident will be responsible for the
cleanup. The bags must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on the date
listed for each ward. Once the street department crews go down each
street in each ward, they will not return until the next scheduled
pickup date.
The following
dates for each ward are subject to change due to weather and timing
of leaves dropping or not.
-
Ward 1 -- Nov. 3, 14, 26
-
Ward 2 -- Nov. 5, 17, Dec. 1
-
Ward 3 -- Nov. 7, 19, Dec. 3
-
Ward 4 -- Nov. 10, 21, Dec. 5
- Ward 5 --
Nov. 12, 24, Dec. 8
Beginning Oct.
30 through Dec. 2, the city landfill will be open from 8 a.m. to
3:50 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday for dumping landscape waste. This
service is free of charge to Lincoln residents. At the same
location, the city has free mulch, finer than what was available in
the past. The landfill is located at Broadwell Drive and Old 66,
north of the Salt Creek bridge.
After Dec. 2,
the landfill hours will be on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 a.m.-3:50
p.m.
