The Service Department Supervisor, Jason Walters asks for residents to follow these guidelines for leaf pick-ups:
* Leaves are not to be placed in the street.
* Leaves should not be near a drainage ditch where they will cause flooding if they block the water.
* Sticks, twigs, rocks, grass clippings, trash and other materials are not to be placed in the leaf piles. This will clog the leaf machine and delay further pick-ups. If these types of debris are found in a pile, service department workers will not collect the rest of the leaf pile and will not return for those leaves.
* Place leaves no farther than 5 feet from the edge of the roadway, this way the hose can reach the leaf piles.
* Place the piles of leaves in long wind-rows on tree lawns or street side, not in tall piles.
* MAKE SURE THE WIND-ROWS OF LEAVES ARE AT LEAST 10 FEET AWAY FROM ANY OBSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS: FIRE HYDRANTS, UTILITY POLES AND MAILBOXES. AS THESE OBSTRUCTIONS MAKE LEAF PICK-UPS MORE DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING.
The Service Department will pick-up leaves as follows:
November 8th-11th Ward C
November 11th-18th Ward D
November 19th-25th Ward A
November 26th-December 3rd Ward B
Each Ward will receive their leaf pick-up within the one week period listed above. Every street gets one pickup - NO MORE.
Once we have completed a street, we will not return. If a resident still has leaves, he or she should bag them for rubbish pick-up. Bags should not weigh more than 40lbs. Every home should have their leaves out by the 1st day of the dates listed above for that ward.
Please check the Village message board in front of the town hall periodically for information, contact the Service Department at 330-467-7139x20 or stop at the town hall or service department to pick up the leaf schedule.
