Fallen foliage on its way out-The Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon, USA Page 2 of 3 <br /> Lane County will begin its collection the week of Nov. 10, while <br /> Springfield's leaf program gets under way Dec. 1. Eugene <br /> begins its second round of leaf pickups on Dec. 15, including <br /> collections on unimproved streets. <br /> The Register-Guard will publish a collection schedule every <br /> Sunday as a reminder. Look for it on the Communities page. <br /> Eugene's program asks folks to follow a few simple rules: <br /> Don't mix debris such as sticks, pine needles or grass clippings <br /> into your leaf piles. "It contaminates leaves so they can't <br /> deliver them," Picado said. <br /> Make sure leaf piles don't block storm drains or gutters, and <br /> keep them at least 15 feet from parked vehicles and away <br /> from traffic or bike lanes. <br /> Don't put them in the road until the weekend before your part <br /> of town is collected. <br /> Eugene residents who can't put leaves in the road without <br /> creating a safety hazard should bag them, then call 682-4800. <br /> The city also will line you up with advice if you have questions <br /> about using your leaves for mulch or compost (call 682-5542) <br /> or if you want leaves delivered to your home (682-4800). <br /> I <br /> 4 ty <br /> http://www.registerguard.com/cgi-bin/printStory.py?name=d 1.cr.leaves.1031&date=20031031 11/3/03 <br />
