Leaf piles located at various <br /> city parks are City composting stockpiles and are not places where leaves can be dumped. <br /> Residents should pile leaves in the street the weekend before the scheduled pickup to <br /> ensure that leaves are picked up during the scheduled collection times. City crews are unable to <br /> collect scattered leaves or leaf piles that are stacked under or close to parked cars. Debris such as <br /> branches, rocks, metal, and lawn clippings will not be collected. Leaf piles with debris will not <br /> be picked up because the City cannot deliver them to people who want leaves for mulch.
