May - June 2014
Dear Neighbor,
BEND
As spring gets into full swing, the City reminds residents that plastic bags are no longer permitted for yard waste
collections. A City ordinance prohibiting the use of plastic bags for yard waste went into effect January 1, 2014. Plastic
bags created environmental problems at the City's organic resources center, costing taxpayers thousands of extra dollars.
According to the ordinance, yard waste for pickup must be placed in a biodegradable paper bag or other container
approved by the City and separated from other garbage. Individual bags or containers may weigh no more than 35
pounds.
Residents may also rent a container from the city for a yearly fee of $16. Residents can sign up for a 96 -gallon container
labeled "Yard Waste Only." The City - provided container will not be subject to the 35 -pound weight limit. To sign up for
a yard waste container, please call the City's customer - service line, 311.
The City began collecting yard waste the week of April 28 and will continue through mid - November. Yard waste is
collected on the same day trash is picked up and must be at the curb by 6:00 am.
The City also reminds residents that we're in the final stages of a mandatory water meter exchange program. We
continue to attempt to contact residents who still need to have their meters replaced. To avoid possible interruption
of water service, please do not delay. Schedule your meter exchange today by calling 574 -235 -5636.
Tickets are now available for the City- sponsored Country Music Festival to be held at Four Winds Field on Saturday,
June 21. Country duo Big & Rich and artist Jo Dee Messina will headline the event. Tickets are $35 through June 20.
Each ticket sold in advance will include a voucher for a Silver Hawks game ticket. At the door, tickets are $45.
Proceeds from the event support the Parks and Recreation Department's efforts to make the City's parks and its
programming more accessible to those with special needs. Tickets may be purchased at the O'Brien Recreation Center
Administrative Offices, Monday- Friday, 8am- 4:30pm; South Bend Silver Hawks Box Office, Monday - Friday, 10am -5pm;
or by calling 574- 235 -9988.
The Parks and Recreation Department is also gearing up for its many summer camps, activities, and classes for all ages.
To check out the full list of events, visit sbpark.org or call 574- 299 -4765.
I hope you're able to enjoy all that the City has to offer in the months to come. I look forward to seeing you around the
Bend.
Sincerely,
Deputy Mayor Mark Neal
