Extra chance for Cinti residents to dispose of yard waste

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - After the City of Cincinnati cut regular yard-waste pickups in order to meet the budget, now they are offering a special yard waste collection week for city residents that will run from May 9 - 13, on regular waste pickup days.

This one-time collection is designed to assist citizens by providing a convenient method to dispose of accumulated yard waste.  During this week, citizens are asked to properly prepare and set out yard waste they may have on their regular garbage collection day.

This special yard waste collection week does not include special items such as tires, appliances, and sofa beds. To schedule a special pickup of any of these items, please call 591-6000.

Krohn cutting days and shows, adding Holiday Show fee

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Krohn Conservatory is eliminating three out of four of its seasonal floral shows, adding a fee for the remaining one, and closing on Mondays and on city holidays to help the Parks Department balance its budget.

The Spring, Summer, and Fall shows are all being cancelled.  The Conservatory will still be open and free during those parts of the year, except for Mondays, but the flower exhibits won't be there.

The most popular seasonal show, the Holiday Show, is being saved, but there will now be a $3.00 fee for adults to enter.  (Seniors and children are $2 and $1; it's free for kids four and younger.)  This year's edition will be called Sleigh Bells around the World. 

The overall most popular show, the Butterfly Show, which happens in late spring in one wing of the Conservatory, will remain.  There has always been a fee to enter, though visitors can still visit the other parts of the Conservatory without visiting

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The Greater Cincinnati Water Works is adding a nother billing option for poeple who get city water.

The Water Works is offering a service through a company called MyCheckFree that provides for billing through email and allows a cusotmer to program the system to make a payment at the desired time.

The system also lets people look at their accounts online and emails reminder notices.  Since this system is used by some other companies, customers can view more than one account through the same system.

The option requires the cusotmer to have web access.  After things are set up and seem to be working, paper bills are stopped.

The system is free for the customer, because the Water Works pays for the costs.

The service can be found at www.cincinnati-oh.gov/gcww.
