Highway Division

The Highway Division is responsible for maintaining the City’s infrastructure which includes approximately 188 miles of roads and nearly 750 streets.  

• Christmas Trees Collection - The Highway Division begins the collection of holiday trees on the Monday nearest Three Kings Day and continues through the month of January. Dates will vary each year. ALL decorations and plastic covers must be removed. Trees in plastic bags will NOT be collected.
• Curbing Repair and Replacement - This is done to ensure street water will find its way into the City's drainage system.  The Highway Division determines which curbs need repair and which streets require new curbs.
• Grass clippings - Grass clippings are not picked up by the City and they are not accepted at the Transfer Station. Grass clippings should be left on your lawn.  (helpful tip)
• Floods and Storms - The Highway Division is responsible for coordinating the City’s response for winter and seasonal storms.
• Leaf Collection - The Highway Division collects leaves free-of-charge for City residents during the month of November. Additionally, the City does not collect leaves in the spring.  Residents do not have to make any appointments, they only have to place their leaves at curbside.  Please note that only leaves in biodegradable bags weighing less than 50 pounds will be collected and the use of duct tape is not permitted. Leaves in plastic bags will not be collected. Woody brush is NOT collected, this may be delivered to the Transfer Station.
