PLEASE:
Keep leaves about one foot away from the curb line to allow water flow.
Move vehicles off the street during leaf pick-up.
Be alert for leaf pick-up equipment in your neighborhood.
Keep a safe distance from leaf pick-up equipment.
DO NOT:
Place bagged leaves in the street.
Mix branches, garden debris, grass clippings, or other trash in with leaves.
Miss the deadline — there is only time for one pass.
Sweeping the streets is a slower process, but sweepers will follow to clean the streets.
