It’s important to avoid parking vehicles in front of leaf piles to ensure the leaf machine can access them.
The city will only collect leaves; no other materials such as branches, brush, or trash will be picked up, and no bags will be accepted.
Additionally, regular refuse collection is prohibited from picking up leaves or any yard waste.
In compliance with City Ordinance 521.12, residents are reminded not to deposit any grass clippings, shrub trimmings, or other materials on streets or alleys to prevent clogging storm sewers.
