 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LEAF COLLECTION

 Leaf piles must be clear of sticks, branches, logs & other debris;

 Grass clippings, Ornamental grasses, flower potting material, branches, pumpkins & gourds cannot be picked up. Residents are encouraged to bring those items to the Auten Road Dump Site;

 Leaves should not block traffic;

 Leaves should not be piled near intersection corners; this causes sight issues for motorists/ bicyclists/ pedestrians;

 Keep leaf piles clear of drainage ways & catch basins; blocked drainage leads to localized flooding;

 Leaves should not be piled around mailboxes, power poles, fences, fire hydrants, basketball hoops or other obstacles;  Do not park on leaf piles; the heat from a vehicle exhaust system could start a fire.
