LEAF VACUUMING REMINDERS
With the leaf vacuuming program beginning November 2nd, we want to remind you of the rules/regulations.
Leaves are to be raked to the curb, but NOT in the street. Leaves piled in the street will NOT be collected. Not only do leaves in the street restrict the water flow to sewers and cause flooding, debris from streets can also damage the truck. Please do not rake twigs, brush, branches, rocks, garbage, plants, grass clippings or other materials in with the leaves, as they can cause damage to the vacuum equipment. Do not bag leaves or put in cans. Examples of potential obstructions include but are not limited to: parked vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, water meters, guy wires, utility boxes, telephone poles, signs, fences and landscaping. Due to risk of damage, leaf piles too close to obstructions or mixed with other debris will not be collected.
Leaf collection can be affected by both weather and volume of leaves. Every effort will be made to collect leaves from your street on the scheduled day.
