Bag your leaves to help prevent flooding of street drains
Please do not rake or blow leaves, grass, and other debris onto the street. Once debris is on the street the rain carries it to the nearest storm drain which can become clogged, and potential cause property damage. Yard debris receptacles are the proper method of disposal. Weekly curbside pickup of yard debris is included in Oregon City Garbage Service – residents without garbage service may obtain weekly service. Contact Oregon City Garbage Company 503-656-8403.
