<br />City of Springfield <br />In Springfield, leaves are collected in two rounds in two areas -- the west and east sides of <br />town. Sanipac is contracted to pick up, haul, and recycle bagged leaves for residents within the city <br />limits. Leaves must be put in medium-sized bags that contain only leaves. The bags should be <br />placed curbside, not in the street, by 8 a.m. Monday of the scheduled week for collection in that <br />area. Landscaping, yard maintenance companies and citizens are not allowed to blow or rake leaves <br />into the streets. <br />The first round leaf collection in Springfield starts Dec. 1 west of 28 Street, then Dec. 8 east <br />th <br />of 28 street. The second round starts Jan. 5 west of 28 Street, then Jan. 12 east of 28 Street. <br />ththth <br />For more information about leaf pickup in Springfield, visit www.springfield-or.gov, call <br />541-726-3637 or email leafpickupprogram@springfield-or.gov. <br /> <br />Lane County <br />The zones for Lane County’s leaf collection have changed!

Here are some tips to help meet those objectives: <br /> <br /> <br />In Eugene and Lane County, leaves must be in the paved roadway but piled at least 15 feet <br /> <br />away from parked vehicles. Do not bag leaves. <br /> <br />In Springfield, leaves must be put in medium-sized bags that contain only leaves. The bags <br /> <br />should be placed curbside, not in the street, <br /> <br />Do not pile leaves in bike or traffic lanes or on curbs or sidewalks. <br /> <br /> <br />Keep storm drains and gutters clear to prevent localized flooding. <br /> <br /> <br />Leaves are not picked up in private yards. <br /> <br /> <br />Do not mix in other debris such as branches, rocks, lawn clippings, pine needles, or trash. <br /> <br /> <br />Wait to put leaves in the street until the weekend prior to collection. <br /> <br /> <br />Consider recycling leaves as compost or mulch material. <br /> <br /> <br />In Lane County leaf pickup will be provided for curb and gutter streets only. In Eugene, <br /> <br />unimproved streets are picked during both rounds but equipment must be able to reach the <br />leaves from the hard road surface. <br /> <br />Schedule Information <br />Eugene First Round Second Round <br /> Central Eugene (see map) Nov. 10 to Nov. 14 Dec. 29 to Jan. 2 <br /> North, south and west zones (see map) Nov. 17 to Dec. 26 Jan. 5 to Jan. 23 <br />Springfield <br /> West of 28 Street Dec. 1 Jan. 5 <br />th <br /> East of 28 Street Dec. 8 Jan. 12 <br />th <br />Lane County <br /> Zone A (Santa Clara east of River Road; see map) Nov. 17 to Nov. 21 Dec. 8 to Dec. 12 <br /> Zone B (Santa Clara west of River Road; see map) Nov. 24 to Nov. 28 Dec. 15 to Dec. 19 <br /> Zone C (Springfield area (see map) Dec. 1 to Dec. 5 Dec. 22 to Dec. 24 <br /> <br />
