Leaves need to be piled in the boulevard or as close to the street as possible, but not in the street or on the
sidewalk. Do not park your vehicles in front of the piles, where the city’s leaf machine cannot get to the leaves.
No other materials such as branches, brush or trash can be picked up by the leaf machine.
No bags will be accepted.
Remember, by law, the regular refuse collection is not allowed to pick up leaves or any other yard waste.
Also, per city ordinance, no person shall deposit, permit or allow any grass clippings, shrub or bush trim-
mings, flowers or any material on any street or alley which might wash into or clog any storm sewer.
