• The Garbage Company is closed on Christmas Day & New Year’s Day - the Transfer Station will be closed on Saturdays, Dec. 25 & Jan. 1.
• Christmas Tree Disposal: The Department of Public Works provides a site for disposal of real Christmas trees; please remove all decorations/lights. The location is open through mid-January on South Main Ave. (south of 3rd Street) on the east side of the road; please watch for the sign.
• Remember to recycle all your Christmas cardboard. Clean cardboard is accepted in the city’s residential curbside recycling program.

A City of Crete permit is needed to move snow in city right-of-way. Current permits are issued to applicants for the winter season, 2021-2022.

Find this permit online in the Forms and Documents section or at the City Hall Utility Office; completed forms should be returned to the Utility Office, with a ground floor entrance on the south side of City Hall.

Residents and commercial operators should also note it is against city code to push snow off private property onto city right-of-way. Citations can be issued.
