City of Paris Newsletter

Happy 4th of July! No person shall shoot fireworks within city limits except 7 days prior and 3 days after the 4th of July. Such shooting shall only be allowed between the hours of 10 A.M. – 10 P.M. except for the 4th of July and those hours are 10 A.M. – Midnight.

Mowing Season Reminders! Please mow away from the curb to avoid blowing grass clippings and leaves into the street. It clogs City drains and is a road hazard to all. We also ask that you be mindful of the length of your grass/weeds. Per City Ordinance: length should not exceed 7” in height.

Reminder – Yard Waste is picked up the FIRST and THIRD Friday only. The brush dump is accessible to all and located at the end of Brasch Drive. Cameras are located on the premises to control abuse of availability. Although we do not require limbs to be placed in bags/boxes, we do ask that you bag up any and all leaves.
