To have leaves picked up by the vacuum leaf loader, there are a few simple rules Village residents should follow:
- Rake your leaves into the grass plot between your sidewalk and the street or, if you have no sidewalk, to the edge of the grass by the street. You should do this the day before the collection. Leaves may also be bagged or put in garbage cans for pickup by the garbage collection company.
- The leaf crew cannot return until the following week if your leaves are not out on time.
- Village crews cannot collect leaves from private property or from alleys.
- Remove all cans, bottles, sticks, toys and debris from your piles of leaves. These items can cause very expensive damage to the Village's equipment. Please remove parked cars from the path of the leaf vacuum. It is very difficult to collect piles of leaves from between parked cars.
Your Cooperation and Assistance Will be Appreciated.
Brush and Limb Pick-up - The Department of Public Works picks up and chips all brush that will fit into the machine on a monthly basis, generally starting the first Tuesday of each month. This recurring schedule permits the department to perform other scheduled tasks without interruption.
