Have the winds of this winter helped ‘trim’ a few of your trees? Do you need to have some limbs picked up and chipped? Now is your chance!
The Village will conduct a monthly service of brush pick up/chipping and pick up on Monday, April 6.
One of the goals of brush chipping and pickup is to keep the tree lawn areas of the Village clear of debris, so that debris litter does not enter the storm sewer system. Brush or storm debris in the tree lawn area may be picked up by the Village, and residents may place additional brush for chipping in that area. Hired tree trimmers must clean up their own debris; the Village will not pick up brush left by commercial cutters.
The Ada High School musical "Oklahoma" will be performed in April. And, to help pay for props, costumes and equipment for this and other programs, the Ada Music Boosters are holding a detergent and trash bag fundraiser. The sale runs through April 15.
