2014 leaf pick up schedule / City of Frankfort KY

NOTICE 2014 CITY OF FRANKFORT LEAF VACUUM SCHEDULE
The City of Frankfort will provide street side Leaf Collection Services. The City is divided into four work zones and each zone will be serviced for three. Operations will not service a zone before the scheduled date. Should a zone be completed before the three-day allotment, crews will back track into previous zones. If a zone is not completed within the three-day period, the leaf crew will move into the next scheduled zone. Residents should have their leaves raked as close to the edge of the street as possible, without causing a traffic hazard or blocking drainage structures. All leaves should be by the street, at 7:00 A.M., on the scheduled period for collection. Leaves with trash and sticks will be tagged until owner corrects it. All sticks should be placed in your yard waste cans and trash should be placed in city issued trash carts.

The City will make every effort to collect all leaves during the scheduled zone (barring weather or equipment delays). The leaf vacuum crews will return to each subdivision after the original schedule. NO PLASTIC BAGS ALLOWED. You may dispose of the leaves in your yard waste cans or brown biodegradable bags. Please call Public Works Department at 352-2088 with questions about the Leaf Collection Schedule or visit  www.frankfort.ky.gov.

Celebrating Stacy Klink

A gathering to celebrate the life of Stacy Klink will be held on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 1:30-4:30 in the Paul Sawyier Library Community Room.  This will be a come-and-go event.

Stacy was a special lady, as those of you who knew her can attest!  She was in her seventh year as a member of our Friends of the Library Board, and was formerly on staff at the Paul Sawyier Library, driving the bookmobile for many years.  She was a “mainstay” in helping at our Friends book sales and in our bookstore.

The library and Friends invite you to come together and share your memories of Stacy.

Thank you!

Friends of the Paul Sawyier Public Library
