The spring weather has led many people to start work on their lawns. St. Cloud Public Works Assistant Director Dan Legatt joined me on WJON. He says there are some guidelines as to what should go in the yard waste bags and how sticks, branches and twigs should be prepared for pickup.

When going for a walk this winter/spring you may have noticed some sidewalks with spray painted pink lines. St. Cloud Public Services Assistant Director Dan Legatt explains the reason for the hot pink spray paint is because these sidewalks are experiencing heaves or tree roots that have caused some unevenness.

St. Cloud residents pack their big blue carts with plastics, paper and glass. Not all items put in the blue carts get recycled. Dan Legatt is the Assistant Public Works Director for the City of St. Cloud.

The snow is finally gone from most if not all yards in the St. Cloud area. St. Cloud Assistant Public Works Director Dan Legatt joined me on WJON. He suggests that residents pick up stick and twigs from their yards but to be cautions to not get too aggressive so they don't damage the grass as it come back from dormancy.

Whether we like it or not we are transitioning from fall to winter. Because of this the city of St. Cloud has just 2 more Mondays where they will pick up yard waste. The last two Mondays are November 14th and 21st. Assistant St. Cloud Public Works Director Dan Legatt joined me on WJON.

The city of St. Cloud is changing their recycling guidelines starting September 1st. St. Cloud Assistant Public Works Director Dan Legatt joined me on WJON. He says every 5 years the city of St. Cloud puts out request for proposal for the processing, transportation and marketing materials.

The city of St. Cloud hasn't given up on the possibility of draw strings for the clear/white compost city bags.
