March is a wonderful time to be living in Chillicothe! The weather begins to warm and spring is in the air. Daylight savings time is March 9th so don’t forget to update the clocks. 

Thursday, March 20th is the first day of spring. With spring approaching, yard work begins. The burning of landscape waste is permitted only between April 1 and May 31 and between October 1 and December 15. If you have yard waste that needs to be disposed of and you live within the city limits, consider the yard waste drop-off at Moffitt Park. The Yard Waste Drop-Off Schedule for Moffitt Park is located on the city’s website. Opening Day is March 19th.

The Public Works Cemetery and Parks committee gets ramped up for the spring clean-up at the cemetery. The clean-up is the 2nd full week in April. Signs will be posted on the cemetery gates as a reminder.
