[OldNorth] New Clipping Pick Up & Sweeping Days

[John Lofland]

Old Northers,

For people like me who have not paid attention, I am surprised to 
learn that today starts the new schedule for picking up yard 
clippings we put in the street.

Rather than Monday, the clippings will now be picked up on Wednesday. 
Street sweeping will be on Thursday, a person at DWR told me on the 
phone today.

Since a great many people work in their yards on weekends and 
therefore put out clippings on Sunday, we are likely to have piles in 
the streets for three days rather than for one.

This provides more opportunity for outside car parkers to park on 
these piles and otherwise to scatter them.

This might get to be interesting, especially when we soon combine the 
piles with the new trash and recycle cans.
