Leaf Collection Begins In Harrisburg

From the City of Harrisburg: City of Harrisburg Public Works crews have begun collecting leaves in Harrisburg, which will continue through Dec. 1, following the street cleaning schedule. Capital Region Water is in close coordination with the Department of Public Works to continue street sweeping during leaf collection.

Put leaves in brown paper bags at the curb the night before street sweeping. You can buy the bags at most hardware and home improvement stores. Plastic bags are not accepted at the composting site.

If you are unable to bag your leaves, you can pile them into the street the night before street sweeping. Please be sure not to block drains. Blocked storm drains can cause puddles or flooding when it rains.

Please follow the posted street cleaning schedule even if your collection day is a holiday. There will be no leaf collection on holidays.

For questions on leaf collections, please call the City at 311. For street sweeping questions, contact Capital Region Water at 888-510-0606.
