CURBSIDE leaf and Brush PICK-UP for the Ruskins WILL BE Friday, MAY 1. 1) PAPER Bags of leaves ONLY sealed with paper tape. 2) 4 foot (40 pound limit) of twine tied bundles of sticks. NO MORE THAN 20 items per house _______________________________________________________________________ Top Code Violations Being Enforced Here are the top rules that are targeted for enforcement. These codes violations are the most reported code violations in our neighborhood and are subject to a ticket or other action... Following are the rules: *****NEW TRASH/BULKY ORDINANCE DEFINES LLEGAL DUMPING AS PUTTING your trash on other properties, especially vacant properties and Parks. · Owners and residents are responsible for actions of their children, guests or service providers. · Trash, Bulky Items, and Recycled Items should not be put out to the curb until the evening before pickup date. Items put out in advance can earn you a ticket; especially those put out just after a pickup. · Yards need grass in front/back and side yards to be mowed and kept 10 inches or less- it is as much a safety issue as an aesthetic one. In a City with as much land surrounding it as KC, you need to keep opossums, raccoons, snakes and rodents out by keeping your yards mowed. Keep your kids and animals safe and neighbors happy. · Shrubs that block traffic sign or block line of sight when backing out of a driveway or coming to an intersection need to be kept trimmed in order not to be a traffic hazard. · Understand which items are no longer covered by City Trash / Bulky Item pickup. Make sure that there is a dumpster when there is a big re-roofing or remodeling job. Call for a dumpster when there is a move out or eviction as this kind of trash is not part of Trash pickup service. · Parking in the right direction on the street and in your driveway is legally allowed. Parking in your yard or on any unimproved surface on you lot is not legal. Don’t park on the street going the wrong way, as you will be subject to a ticket.
