Where to Rake Leaves for Collection:
Loose leaves will be collected at the curbside. Residents should pile un-bagged leaves as close to the curbside/street as possible without blocking the travel-way for pedestrians, bicycles, or motor vehicles. On-street parking areas can be used for leaves. Four examples of where to pile leaves are shown below
