Local residents are reminded that they are responsible <br /> for removing leaves and other debris in the streets in front of their homes or businesses. <br /> Richard Zucker, manager of the City's leaf recycling program, estimated that Public <br /> Works crews picked up about 14,250 cubic yards of leaves during the 10-week collection <br /> program. That's about average in terms of the volume of leaves put out in the streets by Eugene <br /> residents. But Zucker said he was disappointed by the amounts of yard debris mixed with this <br /> year's leaves. <br /> "Lots of people in town request clean loads of leaves, and this is a service we really like <br /> to provide," Zucker said. "Unfortunately, because of the yard debris I've got a stack of requests <br /> that have to go unfilled." <br /> The City has developed a new, twice-a-year curbside yard debris pickup program with <br /> local solid waste haulers. For more information on the next pickup date, call your waste hauler <br /> or the City of Eugene yard waste hotline at 682-2744. <br /> Public Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl • Eugene, OR 97401-2727 • Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX (541) 682-6826 <br /> <br />
