LOOSE LEAF COLLECTION WILL BE DONE ONLY ONCE ON EACH STREET.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOUR LEAVES ARE AT THE CURB
NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 7TH.
LEAVES MUST BE PLACED ON THE LAWN, AT THE EDGE OF THE CURB; NOT IN THE ROADWAY. Putting leaves on the pavement is subject to a $90 fine and creates dangerous conditions for vehicles and pedestrians. Do not deposit your leaves on someone else’s property or vacant lot - unless you have the owner’s permission.
In the event of an early snowfall, if crews are not able to complete leaf collection, leaves in the gutter may be plowed back partially onto your lawn and may remain snow covered. In the spring, the grass may show temporary signs of stress because it has been covered over, but will remedy itself as the weather warms.
