The snow is off the ground a little early this year and Kimberley residents are out raking and cleaning up after winter. The City of Kimberley will help out with your yard clean up by doing special pickups of garden and yard waste — up to the equivalent of one half ton load per household. The schedule is as follows. This week, until April 10, yard waste will be picked up on all garbage routes where regular garbage pick up is done on Wednesdays. Next week, April 14 to 17, those whose garbage is picked up

Tuesdays will have yard waste removed; the week after, April 21 to 24 is for those with Friday garbage collection, and the following week, April 28 to May 1 is for Thursday collection. Yard waste will be picked up daily during the week, and should be put out at 7 a.m. each day. The yard waste should be clearly marked as such, visibly separated from regular garbage, but still in your regular pick up location. All refuse for spring clean up disposal must be in plastic bags or tagged or marked as yard waste. Small branches can be tied in bundles. Yard waste means waste from garden and lawns, including

With both Matthew and Mark Creeks running faster as the spring melt is underway, the first water quality advisory of the season now in effect. Effective 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 7th, 2015 the City of Kimberley is under a Water Quality Advisory — this affects all users including Kimberley, Marysville, Forest Crowne and the St. Mary Lake Road area. Water Quality Advisories are announced when the water quality is fair, and recent testing shows turbidity in water in both Mark and Matthew Creek is in that range. See WATER, page 4
