Don't Forget to License Your Pets

It is the time of year when dog and cat owners are reminded to have their pets licensed and tagged. This allows the City to quickly notify their owners should the pets stray and be picked up. It also verifies animals have proper rabies vaccinations. Licenses cost $10 for altered pets and $20 for unaltered pets. There is an additional fine if your pet is not licensed prior to April 1, so license your pet as soon as possible. Pets must have proof of their current rabies vaccination from their vet. Registration forms are on the city's website or you can stop into city hall and license your pet today!

Tree Collection begins January 3
Christmas tree collection in Windsor Heights will take place the week of January 3 and January 10. Windsor Heights requires Compost It! stickers on Christmas trees.  In order for the process to go smoothly, Metro Waste Authority is asking residents to "de-trim" their trees. All ornaments, tinsel, tree stands, and other decorations should be removed from trees before placing them at the curb. Trees that have been placed in plastic bags will not be collected. Wreaths are also not accepted. Christmas trees are taken to Metro Waste Authority's Metro Compost Center, and if decorations are not removed from the trees, it can harm the composting equipment and workers.
