Englewood leaf pickup program begins today

The Englewood Service Department began their annual leaf program today, which will continue through Nov. 27.

Pick up days vary, but crews will pick up leaves throughout the city at least once a week.

For leaf pickup:

Rake your leaves into the street, approximately 6 inches from the gutter, to allow rain water to go into the catch basins
Leaf pickup creates a fine dust in the air, so plan to wash cars or hang laundry outside after pickup in your area
Leaves will not be picked up from under, between or around parked cars
Do not put grass clippings, tree branches or brush with your leaves as they clog the vacuum units and will not be picked up
Do not try to rake while trucks are going by
Bagged leaves will be collected during normal trash pickup
