VILLAGE OF ELM CREEK
SPRING 2010
NEWSLETTER
IT’S YARDWORK TIME
AGAIN!
We have an
important message
for those who bag
your grass
clippings. The grass
pile has moved from
its present location
on Buffalo Trail.
When you drive west
on Pacific Drive,
instead of turning
south onto Buffalo
Trail, go straight
down the driveway by
the large grain
bins. There will be
signs to show you
where to drive. We
are attempting to
move the smell from
the grass pile
further from the
residences in the
area. DO NOT dump
grass at the old
site. The tree pile
will remain where it
is. And also a
reminder that the
tree pile is going
to be chipped again,
thus no tree
branches larger than
3 inches in
diameter. Please do
not use the
tree/grass piles for
your garbage or the
piles will be
eliminated all
together.
There is to be
NO
yard waste in your
garbage containers,
or it will not be
picked up.
SPRING APPLIANCE
PICK UP DATE IS SET
It’s time drag
out the old bikes,
grills, appliances,
and old metal you’d
like to dispose of.
We have scheduled
the spring appliance
pick up day for
Wednesday, April 14 th.
Call my office if
you’d like to get on
the list for pick
up. If you’re not on
the list, we won’t
pick up your items.

SWIMMING JUST
AROUND THE CORNER
The Village is
now hiring employees
for the swimming
pool. You may get an
application at the
Clerk’s office.
Deadline for
applications is
April 19 th.
The pool is
scheduled to open
Memorial Weekend.
You may contact the
pool once opened for
swimming lessons
dates/times, water
aerobics, etc. The
pool number is
856-4945.
GOT DOGS?
Please remember
to stop in and have
your dog licensed
once per year. The
cost is $1.50 per
dog. This is for
your benefit because
if "Rover" gets
loose, we’ll know
where he belongs and
he can be returned
to you. The Village
does enforce its
leash law, so please
keep Rover on a
leash or in your
yard. Also, it’s a
violation of Village
Ordinance to NOT
pick up after your
dog’s waste in
public areas. Take a
bag along on those
walks and pick up
after him, or you’ll
be cited. The park
is not a "pet park"
and dog waste isn’t
picked up by Village
employees.
GOOD JOB
RECYCLING!
The Village is
looking into grant
programs in order to
enhance our
recycling program.
More bins, perhaps
baling of cardboard,
etc. are being
explored at this
time. Everyone is
recycling so well
now, that it’s time
to expand ways in
which we recycle.
I’ll keep you posted
on the progress of
any recycling
expansion.
The Village’s
website is
www.elmcreekne.com.
There are links to
the school,
businesses, etc.
