Leaves and Storm Drains
Environmental Educator Mandy Sm-Thoithmpson from City of Concord
Would you believe that leaves and grass clippings can kill fish? When yard waste is washed into local bodies of water via storm drains and ditches, the unnaturally high amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus they contribute (nutrient pollution) causes algal blooms. Subsequent algal die-off and decomposition deplete dissolved oxygen levels, which can suffocate gill-breathing animals like tadpoles, fish, salamanders, crayfish, and freshwater mussels. Pet waste and fertilizers are also sources of nutrient pollution. Please place all yard waste (bagged or loose piles), bulky waste, and roll-out carts at the top of the curb, in the grass if possible, keeping everything out of the street gutter. Learn more at concordnc.gov.
Bulky Waste: The City collects bulky waste from residents every other week. The transition to the new, biweekly collection schedule for bulky waste (same schedule as recycling) began in July 2016. Bulky Waste includes all items that cannot fit inside curbside carts such as furniture, tires, equipment, appliances (white goods), and e-waste (anything with a circuit board, especially TVs and computers). Recycling and bulky waste is collected every other week according to the established blue/green zone schedule. Weekly garbage and yard waste collection continues unchanged. Visit concordnc.gov for full details.
NOTICE – Per the City of Concord, ALL residents operating home alarm system are required to register their alarm system. The cost to register the alarm system is $10.00. To register an alarm system go to: False Alarm Reduction and Administration web page.
Please read the Frequently Asked Questions document so that you will understand the policy and cost involved for false alarms, etc.
Do your part to keep the storm drainage system flowing
Street gutters and storm drains help protect Concord from flooding. They carry water directly from City streets and eventually empty into nearby bodies of water. Unfortunately, many property owners unknowingly contribute to flooding and pollution by putting grass clippings, leaves, and other debris in the street.
Remember, two feet and wheels away from the street
On your scheduled pickup day each week, place your recycling and/or garbage carts curbside, but not in the street. The cart's wheels should be pointed away from the street (towards your house). Place each cart 2 feet apart, and 2 feet away from parked cars, mailboxes, fire hydrants, etc. Want a visual? Check out our handy slideshow at concordnc.gov.
Vehicle Break In Prevention Tips
Captain James Hughes, City of Concord CITY
In recent weeks we have seen an increased amount of vehicles entered and valuables taken. Most of the time the vehicle was left unlocked and valuables were in plain sight. Attached is a flyer that has several tips to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim. As always we ask that if you observe any suspicious activity in your area, or have any information on suspect(s), please call the Concord Police Department at (704) 786-9155 or 911 if it is an emergency. Thank you.
