CENTRALIA — The City of Centralia would like to announce that Republic Services will extend leaf vacuuming services for one more week beyond the regular 8-week period. Due to weather and the volume of leaves falling in the last few weeks, there has been some delay with collection.

Residents are asked to be patient as Republic Services will be collecting leaves throughout the remaining of this week and all next week on scheduled service days to insure all residents are collected. The service will follow routes as established in August 2012 Check out the city’s website at www.cityofcentralia.org to see a collection map.

Republic Services and the City of Centralia are committed to making this process successful and ensuring that a quality service is provided. If you have any concerns, feel free to call Republic Services, Inc. refuse collection and hauling corporation at 800- 631-1156, or Public Works Dept.: 533-7640.
