City of Oxford Operating New Street Sweeper; Offers Yard Waste Reminders

/by

-Information courtesy the City of Oxford’s E-Newsletter

The City of Oxford recently placed a new street sweeper into service. Citizens and visitors to Oxford will once again see the City’s streets clean and free of debris. The new sweeper will continue to follow the route previously established by the City of Oxford.

A Friendly Reminder Regarding Yard Waste

All grass, leaves, hedge trimmings and small items should be bagged, boxed or containerized in some manner, with the exception of city leaf collection when they can be placed at the curbside during the city’s designated leaf season: Mid-October through Mid-January.

  • Limbs should not exceed 4 feet in length.
  • Yard waste should not exceed 200 lbs. per week. Where brush is in excess of 2 inches in diameter, please cut into 2-3 feet lengths. NO stumps will be picked up.
  • Brush and limbs are to be tied or bundled. If not, please stack all ends the same way in a neat pile. Each bundle should not exceed 50 lbs.
  • All leaves, grass, hedge trimmings and small items should be bagged, boxed or containerized in some manner and should not exceed 50 lbs.
  • Leaves may be left loose (un-bagged), at the curb, during leaf season: Mid-October through Mid-January for collection by the City.
  • Do not blow mowed grass into the street. This can clog storm drains and add nitrogen and phosphorous to creeks.

Do not park your vehicles on, in front of, or near leaves. The crews need to be able to easily reach the leaves for pick up. Please do not place leaves in the street, block drainage basins, or drainage ditches. Leaves must be within 8-10 feet of the street for collection.

Please visit the City of Oxford’s website (click here) to identify which day of the week your yard/brush debris, garbage and recycling are collected.

If you have any questions, please contact Oxford’s Public Works Department at (919) 603-1151.

The City of Oxford held a groundbreaking ceremony for its 5.8-mile water line replacement on Friday, November 30, 2018, at 210 Coleman Street.

City of Oxford Mayor Jackie Sergent, City Manager Alan Thornton, City Engineer Amy Ratliff and Division of Environmental Quality’s Division of Water Infrastructure Director Kim Colson spoke about the $5.8 million project which was funded by the Division of Water Infrastructure and approved by the State Water Infrastructure Authority.

The undersized water lines, some more than 100 years old, will be replaced by this project which began in 2016. The new lines will correct water quality, low system pressure, and will help in reducing outages and water loss.
