The <br />second round of collections moves quickly, so all leaves should be out and ready for collection in the <br />central area by Sunday, Dec. 27. <br />Then, starting Jan. 4, crews will move out into the west, north and south areas of the city. All <br />leaves should be out and ready for collection in the central area by Sunday, Jan. 3. <br />There will be no leaf collection on Dec. 25 or Jan. 1, due to the holidays. <br />Residents are asked to wait until the weekend before scheduled collection in their area to <br />place their leaves out for collection. Once the second round of collections has been completed in a <br />neighborhood, no more leaves or other debris should be placed in the street. Check the online <br />collection schedule at www.eugene-or.gov/leaf or call 5471-682-4800. <br />As of Dec. 23, Public Works crews have collected nearly 17,000 cubic yards of leaves. About <br />90 percent of those leaves have been delivered to local residents who value leaves as compost and <br />mulch material. None of the leaves collected by the City are taken to the landfill. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
