Residents <br />are responsible for removing materials left in the streets in front of their homes or businesses. <br />Approximately 14,146 cubic yards of leaves were collected by loaders and leaf vacuums <br />over the course of the 10-week collection program. Of that total, more than 9,894 cubic yards of <br />leaves were delivered to residents, with the rest going to community gardens and local recyclers. <br />None of the leaves went to the landfill. <br />Residents with leftover leaves or other yard debris can recycle them in home compost piles, <br />take them to Lane Forest Products or Rexius Forest By-Products, who recycle leaves and woody <br />debris for a small fee, or contact their local solid waste haulers for information on the curbside yard <br />debris pickup program. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
