Just a quick heads up that our phone lines will be temporarily unavailable this afternoon while we complete an upgrade to our phone system.

City-Wide Fall Clean Up starts TODAY, October 5th, and runs through Friday, October 9th!
As you’re cleaning out those garages, sheds, yards, and all the other places where stuff somehow manages to pile up 😂, please remember:
🍁 Place items in the alley behind your house
🍁 Do NOT place items by dumpsters, behind your neighbor’s home, or around gas meters
🍁 Separate your items into tree limbs/branches, lumber & furniture, metal, plastics, and appliances
🚫 Tires will NOT be picked up by the City. Tires can be taken directly to the Kearny County Landfill for disposal. Fees apply depending on the type and size of the tire.
Please help our crews out by having everything placed and separated correctly. It makes the clean up process smoother and easier for everyone!
