LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – As Clearlake and areas on the Northshore continue to clean up after last week's windstorm, local officials are offering assistance with green waste collection.

On Monday, the county of Lake will be setting up green waste collections sites and large debris boxes in the hard hit areas along the Northshore to assist residents, according to Northshore area Supervisor Denise Rushing.

Rushing put out the call to community members on Sunday, asking for help in tending the boxes in order to ensure that hazardous and household waste do not end up in them.

In addition, Rushing said volunteers were needed to assist with cleanup activities.

Rushing said the volunteer duties would be short-term.

Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to call the county of Lake's personnel office at 707-263-2213.

In Clearlake, another of the areas hit hardest by the storms, officials said the city is making available to city residents a designated area at the city’s corporation yard to drop off green waste only. There will be no charge for this service.

The corporation yard is located on Airport Road off of Old Highway 53.

Only tree and brush debris will be accepted and only in the designated area. Dumping of garbage, tires, scrap metal, hazardous materials or other waste will result in the city having to discontinue the service.

This service will remain in effect through Jan. 15, 2014.

Questions about this service can be directed to Public Works Director Doug Herren at 707-994-8201, Extension 102.
