Orleans, IA (KICD) — The Green waste site for residents of Spirit Lake and Orleans has opened for the year. Rules and hours remain the same as past seasons: 3pm-7pm Tuesdays and Thursdays; 9 to 5 on Saturdays; and Noon to 5 on Sundays. The city of Spirit Lake will also begin collecting yard waste with normal garbage pickup on Mondays if it’s bundled properly.
City officials are asking – politely yet – that users not show up at the green waste site until the gate opens. There have been issues in the past of traffic backing up on the road leading to the dump.
The gate is monitored and users must provide either an Orleans or Spirit Lake water bill or driver’s license proving residence.
