Yard Waste Season Ends November 30
The last day to set your yard waste at the curb for
pick up is at the end of this month. You can still buy
Compost It! yard waste bags at Fareway, Ace
Hardware and City Hall. If you have tree limbs you
need to dispose of, cut them down to four foot lengths,
bundle them and attach a Compost It! sticker to each
bundle. You can purchase Compost It! stickers at the
above mentioned locations. Your yard waste bags are
picked up on your garbage days.
Snow Ordinance Reminders
We’ve already experienced a few snow events and
I really hope that isn’t a sign of What is to come. I
know how easy it. is to forget between seasons what
to do or where to get information when the snow
starts flying, so here are a couple reminders of where
you can get quick information.
Know when the snow ordinance gets activated. The
City posts the activation of the snow ordinance to
our website (norwalk.iowa.gov), our Facebook page
(City of Norwalk, Iowa — City Hall), and through the
Norwalk Alert system. City staff also updates the
outgoing message on the phone system (515.981.0228
option 8), and sends the notice to the media.
I strongly encourage you to sign up for the Norwalk
Alert system so you can receive notifications as to
when our snow ordinance goes into effect and is lifted.
You can sign up for these alerts by going to
norwalk.iowa.gov and clicking on “Alerts Sign-Up”.
Please Note: Per City ordinance, sidewalks need
to be cleared within 24 hours after the end of a snow
event.
Should we receive A LOT of snow, the Norwalk
Fire Department (NFD) asks you to take a few
minutes to clear the snow off the fire hydrant, should
you have one in your yard. They would be incredibly
appreciative if you were 'able to clear around the
hydrant as well. In the event of a fire, it’s much
quicker for the N FD to hook up their hoses rather
than spending time trying to locate the fire hydrant
and dig it out.
Important Reminder: it does not matter how much
snow falls to determine if the snow ordinance will be
activated. Once the snow Ordinance is activated, there
is absolutely N O PARKING on the street during this
time. It does not matter how many times the
snowplow has gone by your home, there is no street
parking until the snow ordinance is lifted. The police
will ticket, and tow vehicles left in the street during
an active snow ordinance.
Lastly, I hope you all have a wonderful
Thanksgiving. This year, due to the pandemic, I
realize your holiday may look a little different for
you, but please enjoy those you’re able to be with
this year.
Extra copies of the
Norwalk paper
can be purchased at
Casey’s, Kum Go,
Git-N-Go, and Fareway.
