Cats/Dogs - All cats/dogs must be
registered, by the owner, with the city of Park Hills. Licenses cost
five dollars and are issued yearly on and after January 1st by the
City Clerk. All dogs in Park Hills are subject to the city's leash
law which states that dogs are not allowed out of their owner's yard
unless under the control of their owner. Dog owners must also remove
any excrement left by their dogs while walking them on property other
than their own.
-
Garbage/Recycling - Trash and recycling
pickup is on Wednesday. You are billed for these services on your
property tax bill each fall. Trash Service for one household run slightly
over $100 per year. If you experience problems with your trash or
recycling service, please call city hall at 431-6252. All complaints
are immediately paged to our provider. All issues will be handled
immediately and all complaints will be logged. No garbage/recycling
cans are allowed out before 6:00 p.m. on the night prior to pickup.
Cans must be retrieved from the day of the pickup. Our provider accepts
almost anything of any size with the exceptions of items containing
Freon or hazardous wastes. Brush or branches must be tied in lengths
not greater than 5 feet.
-
Leaf Pick-Up - Each fall the City
of Park Hills provides leaf pickup service. The city will notify a
street a few days before the pick up. This will give you time to rake
your leaves to the edge of your yard. Please do not rake your leaves
into the street. This causes a parking and safety hazard. It also
clogs sewers.
Note - Our trash haulers will accept leaves in garbage bags if you
miss the citywide pick up.
-
Public Works Department can be
reached by calling 431-6252.
-
Red Recycling Bins are used to flag
the recycling truck. If you put your recycling in another container,
you will still want to put out your red recycling bin (even if it's
empty). The bin flags the driver that you have recycling to turn in.
Please bag all papers and place the bag in the bin. Red recycling
bins and stickers for other containers holding recyclable materials
can be obtained from the city. Call 431-6252.
