2A | NOVEMBER 25, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Second citywide leaf pick-up coming Nov. 30 in The Grove Irene M. Helgeson On Monday, Nov. 30, the City utility crew will start the second round of leaf pickup in the city. Crews are continuing the first round of leaf pickup as there are a large number of piles of leaves that have yet to be removed. Heavy rains have caused the leaf piles to become sat- urated with water, making them difficult to vacuum up as the wet leaves easily plug the vacuum tube on the leaf vacuum trailer. City crews are using the leaf vacuum to pick up small piles and a combina- tion of dump trucks with a backhoe to load out the large wet leaf piles. If the large leaf piles dry out, the vacuum will begin to pick up the larger piles. The city is asking resi- dents to have leaves out by the end of day Nov. 29 for the second round of the leaf pickup. The final leaf pickup is scheduled for the week of Dec. 14. The leaf pickup is for leaves only. No grass clip- pings, shrub pruning, blackberry vines, branches or other debris are allowed. Leaves are to be placed on the street surface near the gutter on streets that have onsite parking. Residents are asked not to pile leaves on storm drain catch basins and away from parked cars as the city uses a large leaf vacuum pulled by a truck which needs room to vac- uum up the leaves. Those living along a street that doesn’t have onsite parking or a private street can haul the leaves to a drop site located at 3300 Row River Road near the entrance to the Row Riv- er Water Treatment Plant. Leaves must not be placed in designated bike lanes or on sidewalks. For more information, contact the Public Works and Development Depart- ment at 541-942-3349.
