High River residents still cleaning up their yards before winter might want to get a move on.

And it's not just because of the weather.

Operations crews are going to  be closing the current Town of High River yard waste drop-off just south of the Sprung Structures on 1 Street southeast by the Co-op.

The Town wants the area cleared to allow for new developments.

he station where residents were able to take grass, leaves, branches and other yard waste will close on November 30.

A new location will be chosen and announced in the spring of next year.

In the meantime, residents can take yard waste to the Foothills Regional Landfill.
