Revised Fall Leaf
Pickup Schedule - begins 10/29/2007
Beginning October
29th, DPW will be starting the annual leaf pickup program.
Leaves may be raked into the gutter – a few days prior to the
posted scheduled date. See the posted map for pick up dates in
your area. Two (2) rounds are scheduled this year! Leaves placed
in biodegradable paper bags must be set near the curb, but
not in the street. Please don’t park vehicles on the street the
day of the scheduled pickup and until after the crews have been
through the area. Parked vehicles in the path of removal
equipment make it difficult for DPW crews to pick up all the
leaves. FOR MORE INFORMATION – Contact DPW at 788-4170 |
|
The City has been
divided into sections – major streets have been noted for
boundary purposes. You can find out when DPW will be in
your area by looking at the section map – if the street you live
on falls within the boundaries of that section – the date noted
is the pickup date for that section. NOTE: A complete round will
be done according to the dates on the map, weather permitting.
Leaves can be raked into
the gutter a few days before the posted date.
