Every Fall the streets department will collect loose or bagged leaves at the curb. These bags should be kept separate from trash and recycling; clear bags may be used for this purpose. Please do not mix any other items with leaves. Branches, brush grass and stones will damage the equipment which is very costly to repair and may cause delays in collection. Please avoid placing leaves near storm water catch basins, as we do not want to clog the basins and restrict water flow. Leaf piles should be at least 3 feet from parked vehicles. Do not park on top of leaf piles as that may result in a fire.
