    • IMPORTANT:

  • Have leaves at the curb by 7:00 am.
  • Place leaves only in biodegradable paper bags, trashcans or cardboard boxes not larger than thirty-five (35) gallons.
  • Do not use plastic bags – leaves will not be collected.
  • Grass clippings will not be collected. Compost or mulch on your lawn. Do not blow into the street.
  • Do not sweep leaves into the street. Leaves accumulate into the catch basins and clog them up creating drainage problems.
  • Place tree twigs or hedge trimmings in with regular trash.
