Leaves and Grass Clippings Pick-Up
The leaf machine runs continuously once leaves begin to fall. Individual work orders are not needed during this time. This leaf route ends in April. Personnel that perform this service will then begin cutting grass. Residents’ loose grass clippings are picked up only when a work order is placed at the Street Department. Grass and/or leaves may be bagged throughout the year and placed on the curb on regular trash collection day – no work order needed.
