The City of Centralia would like to remind all residents and mowing contractors that citations can and will be issued to those who blow grass clippings onto the city streets. Clippings left on the streets get into the storm sewer system, clog drains, and are also unsafe for bicyclists and motorcyclists.
City officials say there are proper ways to get rid of grass clippings. They can be picked up with yard waste collection each week or burned during one of the city’s approved burn weekends. For details on both visit cityofcentralia.org.
If you have any questions, you can contact Director of Community Development Gayla Harding at 618-533-7623 or email: gharting@cityofcentralia.org.
