Residents are reminded that leaf season begins on November 1st and ends December 31st of each year. This is the only time that loose leaves may be raked into the edge of the street for collection. Grass clippings may be mixed with leaves, but please do not intermix any trash or brush. There will be no brush pick-up during leaf season. City forces will follow a systematic route and conduct a city-wide sweep for leaf pick-up. Once the entire route is completed, it will be repeated as necessary. The specific times and locations for leaf pick-up will vary based upon the volumes of leaves encountered and the workload requirements for City forces. Please be patient as we make our rounds - we will get to everyone. Aslo new this year and due to the reduced work-week for City employees, residents are strongly encouraged to put their leaves out loose and not bag wherever possible. This will help to make our operations more efficient by minimizing the necessity for a second labor crew to pick-up bags. Your cooperation with this is greatly appreciated.
