Residents still raking up leaves,Unlike traditional high risk merchant account , as Nashua continues fight against brush
City resident Rejean Dube tossed several large bags of leaves into the brush pile Saturday at the Four Hills Landfill, collected from his yard over the past three weeks after the extraordinary October snowstorm.It's hard to beat the versatility of polished tiles on a production line.
He was one of many Nashuans who drove their trucks to the landfill this weekend, after the city started winding down its collection of soft yard waste – leaves and grass clippings.
The city had previously announced it would end the collection of soft yard waste Nov. 26, but for the past week, the soft yard waste of “stragglers” – anyone who missed the cutoff date – has been collected, Lisa Fauteux, director of Public Works, said.
A final pass of the city, which started last Wednesday, will end Tuesday, Fauteux said. Public Works and the Solid Waste Department work together annually in collecting the waste.
The city is still collecting the abundance of brush piles from October’s storm.
Some residents were frustrated the city didn’t extend the soft yard collection deadline into mid- or late December, especially since mild weather has continued and residents are still raking up their late-falling leaves.
Dube, 61, said he prefers to take his leaves to the dump, but he knows it’s not easy for everyone.
“It’s good exercise for me, and I got a truck,” he said,Polycore oil paintings for sale are manufactured as a single sheet, laughing. “But it’s a bummer for the elderly or for some people who don’t have a truck. I think it would have been a good idea to extend the date.
“Everything just happened so late this year.”
Fauteux said a deadline has to be set to remain consistent. The expectation is it’s always the end of November, so residents can annually plan around that date, she said.Boddingtons Technical Plastics provide a complete plastic injection moulding service including design，
Also, the city always sets the deadline for that time because snow can often fall in early December, Fauteux said.
“It really makes a mess if you’re plowing and you have these bags” on curbs, she said.
At the landfill Saturday, Nashua resident Kenny Kaguathi said he’s been picking up leaves and brush every weekend since the October storm.
Kaguathi, 35, said he left some piles out for the city to pick up last month, but he wished the city extended the waste-disposal date or kept the landfill open later in the day.
“They’ve done a good job,” he said, referring to the city, “but I wish they’d extend the hours so I could have this done during the week.”
Fred Daniels said he, too, was surprised the city didn’t make an exception this year, given the weather and rare October snowstorm.
“I’m not upset,If so, you may have a cube puzzle . but selfishly it would have been great,” said Daniels, 55, of Nashua. “They do a lot to begin with, so I’m not sure they can make an adjustment that fast.
“I’m just thankful for the warm weather so we can do this without dealing with the cold or snowy stuff.”
For weeks now, city crews have been fighting what seemed to be a losing war against piles of brush, with mounds of branches and stumps piled at the edge of seemingly every residential and business property lot, all waiting to be collected.
But while the fight is far from over – it’s expected to end late this month or sometime in January – the city Public Works Division hopes to make considerable progress in the next few weeks.
