Waste Management will begin compost pickup in the village two weeks early, beginning Friday, according to information from Courtney Nichols, assistant village manager.
In addition, the Village Department of Public Works will continue to chip trees and brush as it is placed at the curb.
The DPW will continue trash pickup in the tornado-impacted areas. Residents are asked to bring the trash to the area between the sidewalk and the curb so that the DPW can clearly tell it is trash to be removed from the site, Nichols said in the update.

(posted at other Dexter articles as well) I volunteer for a local woods (public schools property). We maintain the fairly-high-traffic pathways with wood chips. Storms such as this last one can (and did!) wipe out years worth of trail maintenance. Who can I contact in order to fill up my 6-yard dump trailer with wood chips, and save the community some trucking costs by trading them for my volunteer hauling labor?
