Updated 11/7/2024
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LEAF COLLECTION
Leaf piles must be clear of sticks, branches, logs & other debris;
Grass clippings, Ornamental grasses, flower potting material, branches, pumpkins & gourds cannot be picked up. Residents are encouraged to bring those items to the Auten Road Dump Site;
Leaves should not block traffic;
Leaves should not be piled near intersection corners; this causes sight issues for motorists/ bicyclists/ pedestrians;
Keep leaf piles clear of drainage ways & catch basins; blocked drainage leads to localized flooding;
Leaves should not be piled around mailboxes, power poles, fences, fire hydrants, basketball hoops or other obstacles; Do not park on leaf piles; the heat from a vehicle exhaust system could start a fire.
DO’S AND DON’TS
