Christmas Tree and Leaf
Recycling
CWD will run a special collection on
Jan. 6 to recycle bagged leaves
and Christmas trees stripped of
decorations. To participate
residents can set out leaves
bagged in paper Kraft bags on the
designated collection days. CWD
will still collect leaves in plastic
bags set out on regular garbage
collection days but these will just
go to the landfill. If residents set
out kraft bags for leaf recycling a
few days early CWD will leave
them for the Saturday collections.
With that in mind, residents should
be aware of and comply with their
Homeowner Association's policies.
The final leaf recycling day is

Weekly farmer's market coming to Colleyville
Colleyville residents can shop for local organic produce or
artisan goods while getting to know the men and women
that harvested or crafted them at weekly outdoor farmer's
markets starting in March.
City Council approved a contract with Four Seasons
Markets to manage a weekly Saturday farmer's market
starting March 24 through 2018. City Council aims to foster
community with these gatherings.
From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays 30-40 vendors will sell
various offerings including organic produce, meats,
cheeses, eggs, honey, salsa, and jams, and crafted items
such as candles, artwork, woodcrafts, and clothes. Four
Seasons Markets will use the area just south of City Hall,
which the City purchased earlier this year.
The City chose to work with Four Seasons Markets because
of the company's reputation as the leading provider of
farmer's markets across North Texas. They've brought
successful European-style farmer's markets to several
communities including Flower Mound, Highland Village,
Dallas, Richardson, and Irving.
Four Seasons Markets has a network of more than 400
local vendors. Vendors sign up to participate each week so
the Colleyville market will see a variety of farmers and
3

artisans based on local tastes and what's in season. Visit
FourSeasonsMarkets.com to view the list of vendors that
may come to Colleyville.
The City will look to supplement periodic market days with
other events such as live music, children's activities, art,
and more.

Colleyville uses the winter
months' average of
December, January, and
February for sewer
calculations on residential
customers. The city averages
individual household
consumption during these
months to set residential
sewer rates for the year.
During the winter months,
residents should be aware of
all unnecessary water usage,
dripping faucets, leaking
toilets, etc. to minimize their
monthly sewer bill for the
following months.
