During the months of November, December and January, weather permitting, the Department operates its Leaf Collection Program. Leaves that have been raked to the roadside will be collected.
Leaf collection entails vacuuming leaves that have been raked and placed at the curbside. To take advantage of this program, residents must rake their leaves to the roadside (never into the drainage ditch or the road). While equipment problems or inclement weather can delay the actual starting date, work crews make every effort to begin removal of leaves on schedule.
