Collected trees will go to the Cedar Grove for composting. If you reside in an apartment or condominium, Republic Services will collect trees from a central location as designated by the property manager during the first two weeks of January. Program details will be sent to property managers via invoice messages and robocalls. Residential flyers are available on the Republic Services website at https://www.republicservices.com/municipality/renton-wa and on the city’s Solid Waste Utility website. For more information, please contact the Solid Waste Utility at 425-430-7398 or via email at jpursell@rentonwa.gov. • The Public Works Department would like to remind residents to help us prevent local residential street flooding by monitoring catch basins near your home and keeping them clear of leaves and other debris. Street sweepers are dispatched daily to clean up debris along major arterials. Cold weather is on the way. The Public Works Department will be applying deicer to major arterials as needed. Snow is not far away. During snow events, it is imperative that motorists do not park or abandon their vehicles within any portion of the traffic lanes. Abandoned vehicles impair snow and ice removal, impact response of emergency vehicles, and may be towed. Please remember that during snow and ice events, the department sanders and snow plows are dispatched to keep major arterials drivable. Visit our website at www.rentonwa.gov/snowroutes to view our deicing and snow route maps. • Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, and road closures happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/traffic. All projects are weather permitting and unless otherwise noted, streets will always remain open.
