Town of Bourbon residents are encouraged to keep collected yard waste under 50 pounds for pick up by the Street Department.
Bourbon Street Superintendent Roger Terry explained to the Bourbon Town Council members last week that there are containers filled with debris that are more than 50 pounds and if it takes more than one person to pick up the compost because of weight then it will not be collected.
If there are limbs over four inches in diameter, compost matter that is not in dumpable containers, or containers are over 50 pounds, a yellow card will be tagged to the debris with a reason why it was not collected. A phone number is listed on the tag for residents to call for any discussion.
Terry also told the council that Community Crossings work will begin around July 26. He previously said micro sealing will be done on Shaffer Road from State Road 331 to Harris Street and on Liberty Street from State Road 331 to Harris Street. Additionally, one-and-a-half overlay of asphalt will be applied on E. North Street from Thayer to Lincoln, N. Thayer Street from North to Park, N. Washington Street from Sunset to Liberty, and W. Jackson Street from Third to Ecker.
