Depending on the amount of leaves that have accumulated on the streets, <br /> Maintenan e crews may make unscheduled pickups in some areas during the first week once <br /> collections in the downtown core area are completed. Unscheduled pickups will not change <br /> the regular schedule. <br /> City rews cannot collect scattered leaves or leaf piles that are stacked under or very <br /> close to pa ked cars. Debris other than leaves, such as branches, rocks, metal, and lawn <br /> clippings, ill not be collected. To ensure leaves are picked up during the scheduled <br /> collection es, residents should pile leaves in the street the weekend before the scheduled <br /> pickup tim . Residents are asked not to place their leaves in the street more than a week <br /> before the' scheduled pickup because even properly piled leaves can contribute to drainage <br /> and storm ater pollution problems. After January 6, property owners will be responsible <br /> for removi g any leaves that are left in front of their homes. <br /> (more) <br /> I <br /> ~I <br /> <br />
