The City of Pittsburgh is now accepting applications for its City Cuts lawn-cutting program.

City Cuts began in 2018 through legislation introduced by Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith, and has assisted more than 2,000 Pittsburgh seniors, veterans, and individuals living with disabilities with lawn cutting for the past two years.

Sign-up information for Pittsburgh residents older than 62 or with a disability seeking the complementary service will be announced in the coming months. Homeowners receiving the service will need to sign a liability waiver.

"City Cuts improves the look of the community and helps people who need a helping hand," the councilwoman said.

Interested businesses will need to register with OpenGov (https://secure.procurenow.com/signup), the city's web-based procurement platform.

Application submissions should include: Project approach and plan; Experience and capability; and, Statement of Interest
