Final Yard Waste Pick-Up December 13
The last GFL yard waste pickup of the year is Tuesday, Dec 13. After that date, bags at streetside will not be collected. Be sure to have your leaves and gardens cleaned up and the bags at street side no later than 7 a.m.
- Yard waste may be placed in large, craft/paper bags or loose in your own, reusable container with a "yard waste" or "compost" sticker on the container (available from GFL or Scio Township). Please do not tape yard bags -- fold them closed or leave them open at the top.
- GFL will also pick up properly bundled branches no thicker than 3 inches in diameter tied in bundles no greater than 4 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter.
As part of your routine lawn maintenance and fall clean-up, please remove leaves and debris from ditches, and clear as much debris as possible from culverts adjacent to your lot. This will help proper drainage and reduce water and ice on our streets.
- No dumping of yard waste material is allowed on any LA property, such as around the lakes and natural areas.
Please do not place waste containers out on the curb earlier than the afternoon before pick-up, and don’t leave containers out past pick-up day. This is especially important as we get into snow-plowing season. Residents on narrow streets should advise their work contractors to not park equipment that would impede GFL access on waste pick-up days. Thank you for cooperating.
Staying Safe on Loch Alpine Streets
With darkness coming earlier in the evenings, the LAIA Safety Committee and our winter roads maintenance contractor urge residents to observe the safety guidelines below.
Pedestrians are strongly urged to wear some reflective clothing and/or wearable lights to make themselves (and their dogs) clearly visible. This is especially important during hours of darkness and in heavy snow. Since the drivers who plow our roads must concentrate on the road surface in front of their trucks while also driving safely, such enhanced visibility is very important.
- It’s also especially important for pedestrians to walk on the left side of the road that has you facing oncoming traffic. By observing this rule, pedestrians are in a far better position to keep themselves safe.
Motorists, please drive with extra care in the dark and when streets are icy.
OOPS…
