They offer an <br /> economical al ernative to costly commercial mulches, fertilizers, soil amendments, and <br /> herbicides. Fir more information, call the City's compost education centers at 682-6830 or the <br /> OSU Extension Service at 682-4247. <br /> Keep neighbors in mind if you have excess amounts of clean leaves. Remember, your <br /> i <br /> leaves are a more valuable resource if they're free of sticks, pine needles, and other yard waste. <br /> Local jvaste haulers pick up yard and garden waste twice a year through the curbside yard <br /> i <br /> debris collecti n service. There's a small charge for pickups, and some restrictions apply. Call <br /> your waste haler for details. <br /> Commercial recycling centers are another alternative for residents who have more leaves <br /> than they or their neighbors can use. Two local firms, Lane Forest Products and Rexius Forest <br /> I <br /> By-Products, accept yard debris, including leaves, for a nominal fee. <br /> The Ci~y will deliver leaves to homes in the city limits and to locations just outside the <br /> city limits if t sere are enough clean loads of leaves and the hauling distances aren't too great. <br /> Property owne s who want leaves delivered to their homes may request delivery by completing a <br /> request form. equest forms are available at a number of locations, including the Eugene Public <br /> i <br /> Works Maintetpance office at 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard and at local community centers. <br /> i <br /> i <br /> <br />
