FALL LEAVES
KEEP LEAVES OUT OF STREETS, GUTTERS & STORM DRAINS Autumn is upon us, which means the town's Streets Division will be hard at work once again keeping streets and storm drains clear of debris. As a reminder, please do not blow or sweep leaves into the street or storm drain. Street sweepers can easily pick up leaves that fall naturally onto the street, but large piles of leaves and debris can clog the machines and result in expensive repairs. Residents can also dispose of leaves, twigs, branches, tree limbs up to four inches in diameter and grass clippings at the upcoming Fall Clean Up Days, Oct. 15 and 16.
do
rake your leaves and dispose of them properly. Residents can check with their home waste disposal company about yard waste disposal, or participate in Fall Clean Up Days.
don’t
pile, blow or rake leaves, sticks or debris into the street. Doing so can result in clogged storm drains, ice buildups, damage to the street sweepers and a $70 fine.
