Winter is just around the corner, so please don't let leaves pile up in the ditches, roadway or sidewalks. Wet leaves can become slippery and cause safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles. When leaves are deposited in roadways and roadside ditches, they clog catch basins and culverts; this prevents free water flow. Compost Brown for your garden, Green for our community Check your Waste Collection Calendar for leaf & yard waste collection dates. Please have waste at the curb before 7:00 a.m.
