BBC Housing releases maintenance schedules Published Aug. 8, 2013 By Staff Sgt. Susan L. Davis 319th Air Base Wing Public Affairs GRAND FORKS AFB, N.D. -- Balfour Beatty Communities recently came out with a set of policies and schedules for residents of Grand Forks Air Force Base housing. The mowing schedule is as follows: Meadowlark Manor and Northern Lights Estates will be mowed on Mondays; Whitetail Range and Roughrider Way on Tuesdays; Red River Crossing on Wednesdays; Dakota Skies and Holly on Thursdays; Prairie View and Lewis and Clark on Fridays. If it rains on a scheduled day, landscapers will mow as long as the ground is not wet enough to be damaged by the mowers. Otherwise, the mowing schedule will be moved back by one day. Recycling and refuse pickup days are Wednesdays for Dakota Skies, Whitetail Range, Northern Lights Estates and Meadowlark Manor; and Thursdays for Prairie View Court, Holly, Lewis and Clark, and Red River Crossing. Curbside bulk pickup is on the second Monday of each month. For yard debris such as fallen tree branches, there is a communal dumpster located on the west side of the BBC maintenance facility. Yard waste may also be disposed of in regular trash bins during weekly pickup for the remainder of the 2013 season. The maintenance office also has items available for checkout, including lawn mowers; wheel barrows; rakes; shovels; manual hedge trimmers and edgers; grass seed; energy efficient light bulbs; mulch; furnace filters; and garage door opener remote batteries. Maintenance shop hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-noon Saturdays.
