Leaf Collection Changes and Guidelines
In our March/April newsletter, we made some changes in our garbage and trash pickup policies. I would like to remind our residents of those changes:
· As there is usually a larger amount of garbage through the City after a weekend, regular trash (i.e. tree trimmings and yard debris) will be picked up on your second day, which is Thursday or Friday depending on your address. A very large pile will still require the boom truck, which picks up in 7-10 days.
· For bagged leaves or debris,
o Less than 30 bags will be picked up by the garbage truck on your second garbage day (Thursday or Friday, depending on your address).
o More than 30 bags will be picked up by the boom truck within 7-10 days.
· No single bag or container should exceed 50 lbs.
· All bags and containers should be placed curbside by 6:30 a.m. on your collection day.
We hope this helps make pick-ups of trash and yard debris run smoothly.
FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT - The City of Vestavia Hills is making application to ADECA for funds from the Land and Water Conservation Fund of the National Park Service in order to build a bridge across Little Shades Creek in McCallum Park. Follow the link to View the Environmental Assessment for this planned action. Please contact the Mayor's Office at 205.978.0310 if you wish to review and need access to a printed copy.
