Here are some important reminders as we reach the end of October.
- Residents can begin placing leaves out onto the curb; either loose or in biodegradable bags. Leaf collection will start on November 1st. No sticks or branches will be collected with leaves. We ask that residents avoid placing leaves within 10 feet of any storm drain to minimize flooding. Collection will end the week of December 31st.
