The City is Transitioning from Republic Services to Rumpke for Residental Waste Collection: Republic wants to do their part to ensure a smooth transition for all residents to the new service provider, Rumpke, whose service will begin on July 1. With this in mind, your last recycling and waste collection by Republic Services will be on your regular service day beginning on June 24th through June 30th. It will be paramount that you have your recycling and waste at the curb on the day of collection before they begin their routes as they will not be returning to collect recycling or waste that was not at the curb when their drivers arrive at the property. During this final collection they will also retrieve all Republic Services branded totes from the curb/roadway easement the same day as the final collection so even if you have no trash or recyling, pleae set your cans out for retrieval.

September is City Government Month

City Government Month is a way to bring city government to life for children. It’s a fun way to learn how cities function and inspire children – our local leaders of the future. 

We encourage schools to visit www.citymonth.org and click “Teacher Central” to access 15 lesson plans designed for all grade levels. These plans can be used over a three-week time frame or individually. Additionally, on the “Kids Zone” portion of the website, there is an interactive map and online resources for each lesson. 

To further enhance their usefulness, the lessons are tired directly to the Kentucky Statewide Learning Goals and Academic Expectations. Teachers can download an implementation guide, lesson plans, a colors and activity book, and other promotional items under “Teacher Central” or “City Officials” tab.
