Yard Waste – Options?


So we’ve been in this house for over a year and finally have time to tackle the backyard area – it’s a bit overgrown and contains a fair amount of sticks, leaves, dead plants, branches, etc. We’ve never had a backyard before so I’m trying to figure out what the options are for dealing with all this stuff. I’d rather not just send it all to the landfill, but if I understand correctly the city has suspended yard waste pickup? What are the other options, are there drop-offs somewhere and if so how do I find them? Many thanks to the other backyard warriors…

House on 2nd St (5th & 6th Ave)


Anyone checked out the house for sale on 2nd Street between 5th & 6th Ave being sold by Century 21? I missed the open house and can’t find anything online. I’m assuming it’s in rough shape but would love to find our more since the location is attractive. Thanks.

Moss on facade


Our building is developing quite the case of “mossiness” on the brick (north facing) facade. Is this any cause for concern? Does it damage the brick if we let it go? It seems to have gotten worse in the last few years, and I’m not sure what to do about it. I personally am not a big fan of the way it looks but I’m more concerned about the integrity of the bricks and mortar. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
