๐ƒ๐ž๐›๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐œ๐ค๐ฎ๐ฉ:
Looks Great Services has completed their debris pickup in the Town of Highland, but the Town will continue branch pile pickup routes until October 30. Please do not leave small piles in the street; place them in your garbage can for Tuesday pick up.

๐’๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ ๐‘๐ž๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐š๐ฅ:
Stump grinding is taking place now. After a stump is ground down, the chip pile will be removed at a later time. Please do not mix wood chips with your leaf pile. Wood chips, stumps, tree limbs, branches, and other storm debris can damage our newly purchased leaf vacs and slow down collection for everyone. Leaves and storm debris MUST be kept in separate piles.

๐ƒ๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ ๐ž๐ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐ญ๐ž:

The Town of Highland is still not charging fees for any dumping related to storm damage, but fees are resuming for dumping that is unrelated to the August 11 storm.

If you have any questions, please reach out via email at [email protected] to be connected with a staff member from the appropriate department.
