Town of Winamac to Cease Grass Disposal; Sewer Separation Project Underway

Winamac Town Hall

The Town of Winamac will not pick up bagged grass again this year. According to Town Manager, Jim Conner, the Town Board decided that residents will need to dispose of their own grass clippings. The issue was brought up last year when the Town Board and Wastewater Superintendent, Brad Zellers, expressed concern about the grass clippings in the streets and the problems they cause with the sewer system, especially during rains.

Because of the clogging problem, the Board decided that the town would no longer be picking up grass clippings. Clippings should be taken to the town woods.
