<br /> <br />Leaf Program News Release <br />November 3, 2011 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Find a safe place to pile and cover leaves on your property until the weekend before leaf <br />pickup is scheduled in your neighborhood. This will keep them from blowing around or washing <br />into storm drains. <br />If there are safe places to pile leaves, make sure there’s at least 15 feet between leaf piles <br />and parked cars so Public Works equipment operators can safely remove the leaves. <br />Keep sidewalks clear of leaves and other seasonal debris that can cause slipping or <br />tripping hazards. <br />Because most of the leaves placed in the street are delivered to local homes and gardens, <br />keep pine needles, sticks and other yard waste and debris out of leaf piles. <br />Still not sure what to do with all those leaves? Visit the City of Eugene’s leaf web site at <br />www.eugene-or.gov/leaf. You’ll find the most current leaf collection schedule, links to online <br />services such as leaf delivery request forms and requests to clean bike lanes, and tips on <br />composting leaves. Or call Public Works Maintenance at 541-682-4800. <br /> <br />Here’s Eugene’s 2011 leaf collection schedule: <br />Area First Round Second Round <br />West/Central Eugene Nov. 7 to Nov. 16 Dec. 19 to Dec. 28 <br />North Eugene Nov. 15 to Nov. 30 Dec. 27 to Jan. 6 <br />Southeast Eugene Nov. 29 to Dec. 9 Jan. 5 to Jan. 10 <br />Southwest Eugene Dec. 8 to Dec. 20 Jan. 10 to Jan. 16 <br /> <br /># # # <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
