It’s time for Chesterton residents to begin cleaning winter’s residue from their yards.

At the Town Council’s meeting Monday night, Street Commissioner John Schnadenberg announced that the annual Spring Cleanup Week starts on Monday, April 16.

Schnadenberg reminded residents of a few requirements:

•Do not mix piles of leaves with piles of brush. Separate them.

•Haul leaves and brush piles to the curbside.

•Do not leave piles in alleys. They will not be collected.

Schnadenberg said that crews will be starting at one end of the town and moving to the other, street by street.

Folks who miss collection should call the Street Department at 926-2222 to arrange one.
