Leaf Vac Begins on October 27

The leaves have finally started falling enough for us to dust off the leaf vacuum. We will begin taking it around starting October 27.

Please do not rake leaves into the street. Leaves should be placed in a row in the parkway as close to curb as possible. Please keep any other debris out of the leaf piles. This includes sticks, rocks, logs, etc. Anything like this will be picked up by the vacuum and cause serious damage to unit.

The leaf vacuum is very slow. Please keep in mind that it can take a week or more for us to make a loop through the entire city. Crews will start the leaf vacuum on the northeast side of the city, they will then pass through the city ending on the northwest side. You are welcome to bag leaves if you would like and they will be picked up on your regularly scheduled yard waste collection day. We have removed the 6 yard waste bag limit for the remainder of the season.
