Good Morning Sweet Town! Join us in supporting Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc. through our 52Cakes fundraiser this week! This week’s cake is strawberry with strawberry puree and strawberry cream. The cake is designed as a comic book cake to add a little whimsey to our lives. The auction starts at 9:00 and will go until 5:00. Sarge's is on a mission to save animals from euthanasia at the Haywood County Animal Shelter. But their dedication doesn't stop there. They're committed to reducing the number of homeless dogs and cats in the area and improving their welfare by fostering the bond between animals and their human companions. With over 11,500 animals rescued and hundreds of cats and dogs finding loving homes each year, Sarge's is making a real difference. And now, they're expanding their reach beyond Haywood County to help keep beloved pets with their families. Every dollar raised will directly support the care and well-being of homeless animals in Haywood County. From providing essential housing to funding urgent medical needs and offering behavioral assistance, your contribution will make a tangible impact on the lives of these furry friends. Together, let's ensure that every animal in need receives the love, care, and support they deserve. Donate today and help us make a difference!

Spring Bulk Leaf Collection is starting back March 4, 2024 and run until March 29, 2024! 🍃 This is a service automatically provided to city residents and they do not need to call to request leaf pick-up. Residents are asked NOT to bag their leaves; simply rake leaves as close to the street, curb, or sidewalk as possible without placing the leaves in the roadway or on the sidewalk. Keeping leaf piles out of the roadways and sidewalks helps prevent them from being washed down to the storm drain which can cause flooding. 🍂 This leaf collection process is separate from brush collection crews; therefore, residents will need to keep their brush and leaves in separate piles during the month of March until Spring bulk leaf collection is complete. 🌷 The public does not need to contact Public Works with leaf pick-up requests as this service is automatically provided to City residents. Leaf piles are picked up from homes every ten to fourteen days but, depending on the volume of leaves placed out for collection, the piles could be picked up sooner or later than that time frame. 🌿 The City’s bulk leaf collection service does not include pickup for yard waste generated by landscaping companies. If any residents, businesses, or nonprofits use a contractor or landscape contractor to trim or cut trees or any yard work, the contractor is responsible for removal of the debris they generate including grass clippings, bulk leaves, tree trimmings, etc. 🌱 For more detailed yard waste information, please visit link below...
