It’s that time of year when trees begin to shed their leaves and the City of Bellefontaine is ready to start picking them up in the city.
The city asked that residents please rake leaves as close to the street as possible, but not in the street or on the sidewalk.
To help the city keep its leaf collection on schedule and ensure the safety of both residents and city employees, residents are asked NOT to place leaves in the street or around parked vehicles, fire hydrants, or storm drains.
No other materials such as branches, brush, or trash can be picked up by the leaf machine, and bags will not be accepted.
Remember, by law, the regular refuse collection is not allowed to pick up leaves or any other yard waste.
Starting Monday and through this week, the Street Department will pick up on an “on-call basis” if the schedule permits.
You can email them at [email protected] or call (937) 592-1736.
Next week begins routine pick-up, stay tuned for the full schedule.
