Welcome to the City of Longmont's weekly e-News update.
City to Pick up Branches and Limbs
Due to the recent storm, the City will provide a special tree limb collection in residential areas. The limbs must be curbside the week before your collection week. Branches will not be collected from alleys. Any materials on the curb after the collection date will not be picked up, and the property owner or tenant may be subject to municipal code violations. The collection program will begin November 14 and follow the leaf collection schedule. Visit www.ci.longmont.co.us/solidwaste/events/curbsideleaf.htm, or call 303-651-8416 for more information.
Shredding Event on Saturday
The Longmont Waste Diversion Center at 140 Martin Street will hold a free shredding event from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturday, November 5. This event is for residential documents only; no business materials will be accepted. Please bring a copy of your most recent Longmont utility bill to show that you pay the waste management fee. For more information call 303-651-8416.
