Summer Brush and Leaf collection

During this first collection, the Street Department will pick up both leaves and brush. Because of the large amount of brush and leaves usually placed out for the summer pick up, it tends to take longer for the crews to make their rounds.

Some information to remember:

Residents are to have their leaves and brush placed at the curb, but not in the street so as to not cause a road hazard or hinder water drainage.
Do not place brush or trash on or in leaf piles.
Leaf and brush piles placed in alleyways will not be picked up.
Do not place piles around fire hydrants, mail boxes or telephone poles.

Looking ahead: Aug. 2
