There may have been snow on the ground during last weekend’s Easter egg hunt, but residents here ready for some warm weather.
If you are itching to get out in the yard and start raking those dead leaves and winter leftovers, you will be happy to know the Yard Waste Recycling Center opens Saturday, April 6.
The recycling center is open only to Twin Lakes residents and can be used only for yard waste. No commercial dumping or construction material such as chemically treated wood or dry wall can be dumped.
The center is located behind the public works garage and will be open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays and depending on the weather, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays.
As a bonus, during the month of April Twin Lakes residents can drop off electronics not accepted in landfills, such as TVs, computers, monitors, CD players, DVD players, etc. For the month of April there will be no charge for dropping off electronic items.
