With the final pickup of <br /> leaves n north Eugene, Public Works crews have collected over 18,000 cubic <br /> I yards f leaves this season, which is less than last year. This is due, in part, to <br /> the ne curbside yard debris program. <br /> Whene er possible, collection trucks delivered clean leaves to people who <br /> ~ reques ed them for mulch or compost material. Unfortunately, many leaves <br /> were n t suitable for delivery as leaves must be free of garden and yard debris. <br /> All the aves that weren't delivered were recycled by the city. <br /> No ne leaf piles should be placed in the streets. Residents are now <br /> respon ible for removing leaves and other debris left in the streets in front of <br /> their h mes and businesses. In most, if not all cases, the piles that remain are <br /> those t at were inaccessible because of parked cars. Remaining leaves may <br /> be co posted at home or taken to local recycling facilities. Residents may also <br /> want t contact their solid waste hauler for information on yard debris pickup. <br /> As alw ys, be sure to keep sidewalks free of leaves, which are slippery when <br /> wet an hazardous for pedestrians. <br /> Form a information about leaf recycling or the leaf collection schedule, call <br /> the Ci of Eugene leaf hotline at 682-5383 or visit the City of Eugene's home <br /> page o the Internet at www.ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br /> i <br /> bflc Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl Street-• Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX: (541) 682-6826 • www.ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br />
