Good morning, Durango.

The City of Durango will carry out spring cleaning throughout April by collecting old furniture, large appliances, scrap, and tree trimmings while residents check the City website for pickup details—the city will also celebrate Earth Day on April 12 with a parade starting at 10:30 a.m. and live music at Buckley Park and launch Restaurant Week from April 12 through April 21 with discounted menus.

Durango City Council approved an ordinance on April 1 to accept a land donation from the Durango Mesa Park Foundation.
