Leaf
collection will begin the first week of October and will run through
the second week of December. We will be picking up leaves every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during this period.
To help
provide efficient pick-up, citizens are asking to rake leaves with
regard to the following:
- Rake leaves
to the curb line. On streets with no curbs, rake leaves to the
edge of the asphalt.
- Keep leaf
piles free from stones, cans, trash, sticks, etc. These items
can damage the vacuum equipment.

leaves are not piled under, between, or around parked cars.
- There will
be no spring leaf pick-up, so please get leaves cleaned up before
the last week of collection.
