City Reminds Property Owners To Perform Trimming

City Reminds Property Owners To Perform Trimming

News release from the City of Frederick:

The City of Frederick reminds property owners of their responsibility and the importance of trimming foliage that may encroach in the public right of way, over fences or out of yard boundaries.

With the growing season in full bloom, some plants outgrow their boundaries and can create obstacles on sidewalks. Their overgrowth creates a hazard for pedestrians, who may be forced into the street to avoid the foliage.

Growth from all hedges, bushes, shrubbery and trees must remain inside property boundaries, per City code.

  • Clarified lawn maintenance standards

  • Residents should trim trees and shrubs overhanging the sidewalks

Please refer to the document for a full listing of the guidelines.

New Yard Waste Services to Start in October; New Leaf Policy

The City of Frederick will start weekly curbside pick-up of yard waste next month, a new service for residents and progress toward higher environmental protection standards. Effective Oct. 1, 2018, residents’ yard waste pick-up will occur on the same day as their currently scheduled solid waste (trash) pick-up. This new schedule will replace the current twice-per-month schedule for yard waste collection in their location. This change will be effective year-round.
