CORNELIUS – Recent storms have left a significant amount of yard debris in Cornelius. Because of the larger-than-average volume, Republic Services is running behind collecting yard-waste piles, Cornelius officials said this week.

epublic is currently working through the week and Saturdays to catch up. Homeowners with large debris piles may see a two-  to three-week delay. If your yard debris has been tagged, please follow the instructions. Residents can get more information by calling Cornelius Public Works at 704-895-5212.
