Please make sure to always have your cans out by 6 a.m. Christmas tree recycling pick up will be on Dec 27th and Jan 3rd. Please do not put your Christmas trees in your green waste cans. Put them off to the side with all decorations removed. If you miss the Christmas Tree pickup, you can put your trees out on your extra trash day (the 3rd trash day of the month). Back by popular demand! EXTRA EXTRA trash is coming the week between Christmas and New Years. Bundle or bag your extra trash and place 3 feet from your cans by 6:00 a.m. on your regularly scheduled trash day. We will take care of the rest! Please have 3 feet between each can and other obstacles where possible. Our new truck needs a bit more room to avoid knocking cans over or causing property damage. 2017 TOWN BOARD Bill Souligny, Chairman [EMAIL REDACTED] Matt Bernard.

It’s an honor to assume this new role and I am excited and energized by what the new year brings with it’s challenges, events and projects. What an amazing turnout for Minden’s Holiday Weekend! I think it was our best yet. The Gazebo Lighting was a great success and we would like to thank our good neighbor and partner, the Carson Valley Inn for it’s generous donation of hundreds of cookies. We would also like to thank Main Street Minden & Aspire Academy for all their help with making downtown beautiful, and decorating our firetruck. The lucky winner this year of the golden ticket was Haley MacDonnell. Congratulations Haley! The Parade of Lights had a huge turnout this year—and we won the Best Govern- ment category. Way to go staff, volunteers, and Aspire students! We are so happy to be a part of such a great tradition that brings us all closer as a community. Thank you to everyone in the community who made donations to the food drive this year. The Town of Minden was able to collect around 900 lbs of food and over $300.00 dollars! I look forward to another great year for Minden, and would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ~Bill Souligny Town Administrative Staff: Jenifer Davidson, Town Manager Ted Thran, Accountant Trish Koepnick, Admin Services Mgr.

Hazardous household waste such as old TVs & computers, paints, sol- vents, pesticides & fertilizers, aerosols cans motor oil & gas, as well as household chemicals & cleaners should never be placed in your garbage can. Instead, call Douglas Disposal at 782-5713 for guidance on disposal of these and other hazardous items. Together we can keep you and the trash guys safe— as well as properly take care of this harmful waste. Snow Removal Please remember to: Keep the sidewalk in front of your property clear. Do not shovel the snow into the street. Put it on your grass for a little more moisture when it melts! The Town will only plow the streets if there is accumulation of at least 4” on the ground with a projection of more to come within the next 12 hours. The roads are plowed to the middle of most streets. This is to prevent large berms from accumulating in front of sidewalks and driveways. The complete snow policy is available from the Town Office as well as on the website at www.townofminden.com.
