Collection is on-going from one end of town to the other end of town. Therefore, there is no need to call for a special pickup. Place UNBAGGED leaves on the tree-lawn only. DO NOT PLACE IN STREET. Leaf piles mixed with other debris – such as grass – WILL NOT be picked up. All leaves need to be bagged after January 1. Leaf bags will then be picked up with your regular rubbish on your collection day. Questions? Call the Service Department at 216.292.1922. mIsseD A cOUNcIL meeTING?
