You're encouraged to do the same by recycling leaves at home as mulch or compost <br /> material. Another option is to share excess leaves with neighbors. Or, take leaves to a <br /> ommercial rec~cler who accepts yard debris for a nominal charge, or contact your local waste <br /> auler about cu~bside yard debris pickup service. <br /> i <br /> If you d~ decide to place your leaves in the street, wait until the weekend before <br /> I <br /> ollection in yo~r neighborhood, because even property piled leaves can cause local flooding and <br /> i <br /> ollute waterwa~s. Keep leaf piles free of woody waste and other debris, and be sure leaves <br /> on't block bike or traffic lanes and are well away from storm drains. <br /> Current ollection schedules and tips for recycling and piling leaves are available on the <br /> ity of Eugene leaf hotline at 682-5383, or on the City's home page, www.ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> ~ ' (more) - <br /> I!, <br /> <br /> Public Works • Administration • City of Eugene. 858 Pearl • Eugene, OR 97401-2727 • Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX (541) 682-6826 <br /> <br />
