RICHLAND -- Richland residents can resume placing their green yard debris container curbside this week.

"Containers should be rolled to the curb by 7 a.m. on the same day as garbage collection occurs. A separate truck will pick up yard debris and take it to the composting area near the Horn Rapids Landfill," a city news release said.

Curbside collection schedules were included in residents' January utility bills and also are available at City Hall and online at www.ci.richland.wa.us/solidwaste under the Residential Yard Waste section.

    The Washington State Court of Appeals has upheld the award of $1 from the city of Richland to a Spokane developer in Benton County Superior Court.

    At issue was 21.6 acres of undeveloped land at Keene and Shockley Roads in south Richland.

    The lower court found that the owner of the land, Keene Valley Ventures of Spokane, had proved that city storm water management in the area had caused a problem on the acreage, raising the water table significantly and causing occasional flooding. But the damage to the land was temporary because Richland could reroute the water to flow away from the land, the court found.

    At a time when most people are thinking of Trick or Treat, turkey and pumpkin pie, others -- such as Tim and Timmer Trevis of Kennewick and Mark and Cristina Harris of Richland -- have Christmas on their minds.

    The Harris family began putting up holiday lights at the end of September.

    "I used to wait until November, but with a two-and-a-half story house it's best not to be on the roof when it's slippery. It gets a little scary being up there in the freezing cold putting lights up along the roof edge when you can't feel your fingers," Mark Harris said.
