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.

and Development Depart-
ment at 541-942-3349.
