Depending on the amount of leaves that have accumulated on the streets, <br /> Maintenance crews may make unscheduled pickups in some areas during the first week once <br /> <br /> ~r collections in the downtown core area are completed. Unscheduled pickups will not change <br /> the regular schedule. <br /> City crews cannot collect scattered leaves or leaf piles that are stacked under or very <br /> ~'I close to parked cars. Debris other than leaves, such as branches, rocks, metal, and lawn <br /> clippings, will not be collected. To ensure leaves are picked up during the scheduled <br /> collection times, residents should pile leaves in the street the weekend before the scheduled <br /> pickup time. Residents are asked to not place their leaves in the street more than a week <br /> I <br /> before their scheduled pickup because even properly piled leaves can contribute to drainage <br /> and stormwater pollution problems. After January 7, property owners will be responsible <br /> ~i <br /> I~ for removing any leaves that are left in front of their homes. <br /> I <br /> (more) <br /> <br />
