In an effort to maintain the cleanliness of our City, the City of Cody will begin of- fering its Large Item Pick Up program year round, with the exception of weeks where there is a City ob- served holiday. The Tree and Brush Pick Up program will remain a sea- sonal program, beginning No- vember 1st and running through March 31st each year. Effective July 1, 2020 Ordi- nance 4-4-13 will include the addition of a mini- mum charge of $.70 per resi- dence. This fee is to help as- sist with the ever rising costs associated with these pro- grams. It is our hope that providing these services will aid in keeping our alleys and streets free of de- bris as well as to provide a helpful service to the City of Cody residents.
