Loose Leaf Pickup Guidelines
In an effort to keep the leaf crews on schedule and to prevent leafmachines from breaking down the following guidelines have beenimplemented:
- The City is divided into ten (10) work zones.
- Leaves must be raked to the curb the day before the zone is scheduled
to receive service.
- Each zone will receive service for two (2) consecutive business days on a rotating basis.
- A zone will not receive service before the scheduled pickup date.
- If a zone is not completed within the two (2) day period, the leafcrews will move into the next scheduled zone and back track to completethe incomplete zones as time permits.
- Leaves must not be raked in the street, in the gutter-line, on the sidewalks, around parked cars, or around fire hydrants.
- Leaves must not obstruct drainage structures, catch basins, mailboxes, sidewalks, or guy wires.
- Leaves must be free of limbs, rocks, tires, wheels, household trash, orother debris that can damage equipment or cause injury.
- Leaves will be picked up on the street or alley the residence faces.
- Leaves will not be picked up within privately owned trailer parks, onprivate property, in subdivision outside the city limits, or on thepremises of businesses.
- Scott Waste Management will pickup bagged leaves on your regular garbage pickup day.
