Landscape Waste Update
Posted: 07/22/2010

Beginning immediately, the City of Kewanee and Rare Earth Diversified Services, Inc are asking residents who use the landscape waste bags for sticks and small limbs to please break these items into pieces no longer than one and one-half foot (l 1/2’) long as anything over that length jams up the composting equipment at the Rare Earth Facility, where the city takes its landscape waste.

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please call City Hall at 852-2611.
