Thank you to everyone who participated in the Spring Clean Up event! It was a huge success and helps keep our community clean. In one day, we collected 32 tons of trash and debris, including yard waste, scrap metal, tires, and hazardous chemicals.

Grasses and weeds may become a safety issue if they get too long and overgrown. Dry grasses turn into fuel for fire and overgrown lawns can be inviting places for pests like snakes, rats and other rodents.
