CITY OF COLVILLE SPRING CLEAN PROGRAMS

The City of Colville will again be conducting its annual Residential Spring Clean programs at no additional charge to Colville City residents.  Spring Clean will be done in two separate phases.  The first phase will be for pick up of yard wastes only and will take place starting Monday, April 5th.  The second phase will take place May 15th and will be for household wastes only. No business, commercial or construction wastes, or logging waste will be collected during either phase. 

Phase 1 - Yard Waste Program: beginning at 7:00 A.M., starts April 5th

 The City Street Department will pick up yard wastes placed along the edge of residential street fronts only.  There will be no alley pickups.  The Street Dept. prefers that yard waste be loose rather than in bags, however, bagged yard waste is permitted.  There will be no advance notice of which streets will be done first, so residents are advised to be sure all materials are placed by 7:00 A.M. April 5th.  Yard wastes will only be picked up once.  There will be no return pick ups. Yard wastes may consist of grass clippings, leaves, brush, shrubs, branches and lumber (all nails removed) that are less than six feet in length and six inches in thickness or diameter.  Concrete, piles of dirt, gravel, large rocks and construction debris will NOT be picked up.  Do not put any household wastes with the yard wastes.   The Street Department reserves the right to determine if the content and amount of yard waste is reasonable and acceptable.   Call the Street Department at 684-1489 if you need further clarification regarding yard wastes which are eligible for pick up during this program.

Phase 2 –

Household Waste Program: beginning at 7:00 A.M., Saturday May 15th ONLY

 This year’s household waste clean up campaign will operate as it has since 2004, which eliminated curbside pick in favor of a controlled drop-off program.  The one day event will be held Saturday, May 15th only, at the City Street/Water Department compound, 1044 N Lincoln Street, between the hours of 7 AM and 2 PM. The service is only for residents who live within the Colville City limits.  Residents will need to bring their household wastes to the Lincoln Street site.  Drivers must provide proof of current residency, such as the customer portion of their City water/sewer utility bill for April 2010, as their pass onto the site. Residents of apartments or rentals, whose landlords receive the utility billings, will be allowed to participate in the Household Waste Clean Up Program, as long as they can show proof of current City residency.  Elderly citizens (65 and older) and disabled citizens who have no means of hauling their household waste, may contact Marty at Public Works at 684-1489 to apply for special assistance. 

 

Residents may dispose of a maximum cumulative total of 4 cubic yards of household wastes, which may entail multiple trips for those residents with smaller vehicles.  4 cubic yards is equivalent to a pile approximately 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 6 feet long or one well-loaded ¾ ton pickup.   Loads must be properly secured.  Items that may be disposed include:  furniture, TV's, appliances, mattresses, tires (limited to 2) and other miscellaneous items (junk).   Lawn mowers must be fluid free.  Propane tanks must be empty.  Computer towers, laptops, and monitors will be disposed of in a special recycling container on site.  Items that may NOT be disposed of include:  whole car bodies, concrete, piles of dirt, gravel, large rocks, construction debris, commercial wastes, yard waste, any items exceeding six feet in length, or any hazardous waste such as paint and solvents, used motor oil and anti freeze, and batteries.  Loads will be inspected at the entry gate.

 

Procedure:  The locked compound at 1044 N Lincoln Street will open at 7:00 AM on Saturday, May 15th only and operate until 2:00 PM.  Vehicles will enter through the Lincoln Street gate and be directed by City personnel to one of several unloading zones.  Vehicles will then be guided to an exit gate.  Drivers will be asked for proof of residency.  Drivers and passengers will be cautioned to remain inside their vehicles while Sunshine Disposal crews unload and sort the household wastes. No scavenging will be permitted on site.

 

Sunshine Disposal and the City reserve the right to determine if the content and amount of debris is reasonable and acceptable.   If you need further clarification regarding the household wastes pick up during this program, please contact Marty at 684-1489.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING

The City of Colville Water Department will be conducting an aggressive water quality flushing program beginning on Monday, March 29, 2010 and will complete flushing by approximately the middle of April.

 Our program is designed to flush the build-up of minerals and other sediments from our distribution system, as well as routinely operate the valves and hydrants within our system.  As a result of this flushing program, residents and businesses   may experience fluctuating water pressure, discoloration of water, or a change in taste or odor.  It is best to run water from an outside faucet for a few minutes to clear up any of these issues if they do occur.  If these problems persist, please contact the Water Department at (509) 684-2244.  We encourage customers to check their water for discoloration before drawing water or washing laundry while flushing is being conducted. 

We ask that anyone who requires the use of a kidney dialysis machine, or similar medical equipment, contact the Water Department, (509) 684-2244, to schedule flushing in your area.

   BURNING REGULATIONS

As of January 1, 2007, land-clearing and residential outdoor burning will no longer be legal in any area designated as an Urban Growth Area (UGA) under the Growth Management Act.  The City of Colville, and several other cities in Stevens County, were designated Urban Growth Areas by Stevens County when the county decided to plan under the Growth Management Act several years ago.  The Department of Ecology is committed to working with cities, counties, and citizens groups to promote viable alternatives to burning in all communities, especially those where the ban on open burning takes effect in 2007.  The applicable law and rule involved are RCW 70.94.743 and WAC 173-425-040(2).
