First collection. We will post Green Signs throughout the work areas several days before our
crews’ arrival. We will attempt to allow a weekend for residents to rake
their leaves to the edge of the road for vacuum pick-up. Signs will be
removed after our crews complete each street.
The second and final fall collection will begin after Thanksgiving. The
timing will depend on weather conditions. Red
Signs will indicate that this is the final collection. The
same posting, collection, and sign removal procedures are used for both
vacuum collections.
