SPRING CLEANING DAYS AND TREE TRIMMING
Spring is right around the corner and it is time to take advantage of our Spring Clean-Up Days, April 21-25. Specific waste containers for regular garbage debris and green waste will be available at the Harrisville Main Park, 1350 N. Highway 89, during the Spring Clean Up for disposal. As part of the spring cleaning this year, we ask you to trim and remove obstructive trees and branches on your property or in the park strip. Trees overhanging sidewalks should be trimmed to the height of 8 feet in order to meet code requirements. Trees overhanging roads are to be trimmed to 16 feet as well. Diseased trees and vegetation should be removed and disposed. Trees or vegetation that obstruct or threaten sidewalks, waterways, culverts, pipes, storm drains, or utility lines should also be trimmed or removed. Our annual community spring cleaning days are a perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy the warming weather as we make Harrisville City a beautiful place to live and work. Thank you to everyone willing to help your neighbor or others who struggle to maintain their yards and spaces. We can work together to keep our community safe and beautiful.
POLICE NOTE
Please be mindful while you are searching the web for deals on products or even answering classified ads; regardless whether they are in a newspaper or on any website. Consumer Reports recently stated that the internet marketplace is full of counterfeit products and advertisements. As a consumer you need to make sure the sites you are visiting are selling legitimate products. In regards to classified ads, never provide personal
information such as your full name, date of birth, address or phone number in an initial e-mail. No bank, credit card company or potential employer will call and ask for your personal or account information. If a caller asks for this information, it’s most likely a scam. If someone wants you to cash a check and return part of it with a wire transfer, it’s a scam. Remember that you are responsible for damages when you cash a money order or cashier’s check for a third party and the check is found to be fraudulent.
