The city is helping residents spruce up

As most of us crawl out of the winter hibernation mode, a sweeping glance around the house and we realize it's time to do some spring cleaning. The city of Leavenworth is helping residents tidy up - starting April 15 to May 10, yard waste will be collected from city residents.
    The yard waste should be put in recyclable bags, the branches should be cut in four foot length and wrapped up in a decomposable material. During the April 9 study session, council members advised residents to put out the bags on Tuesday (starting April 15) and the bags will be picked up between then and Friday.
    The pick up process will be done in sections and the city reiterated they will not be repeating sections during a week. Residents are allowed to place up to four bags per week.
