Local residents are reminded that they are responsible <br /> for .removing 1 aves and other debris in the streets in front of their homes or businesses. <br /> Richar Zucker, manager of the City's leaf recycling program, estimated that Public <br /> Works crews icked up more than 15,000 cubic yards, or about 2,150 dump truck loads, of <br /> leaves during he 10-week collection program. That's a bit higher than average in terms of the <br /> volume of lea es put out in the streets by Eugene residents. Zucker speculated that early leaf <br /> drops and goo raking weather contributed to the higher volume. <br /> Resid nts with leftover leaves or other yard debris can recycle them in home compost <br /> piles, take the to local recyclers such as Lane Forest Products or Rexius Forest By-Products, or <br /> contact their 1 cal solid waste haulers for information on the curbside yard debris pickup <br /> program. <br /> <br /> Pq~blic Works • Admi istration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl • Eugene, OR 97401-2727 • Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX (541) 682-6826 <br /> <br />
