Someone is amassing a pile of leaves by blowing them into the middle of the street. I think--but do not know--that it is the residents at 1908. Is the city planning to pick up leaves in the street this year?
For your second round of leaf pick-up: there are still substantial amounts of leaves along E First Street, specifically in the 200, 300, 400 (412 in particular), 1200, and 1300 blocks. Thank you!

I live on Woodstock Place, and several of my neighbors have leaf-blown their leaves into great piles along the street. I'm concerned that the street has been narrowed for traffic and that the leaves will be washed down into the sewers and cause backups. There was a yard sign in the yard nearest High Street about no leaf collection this year, but evidently it has been ignored. Can my neighbors be compelled to mulch or collect their leaves before they turn into a slick mess this winter?
I put out two bags of leaves for pickup today, 11/2 during my normal trash pick up. They were not picked up. According to your website, picture attached, during the month of November, today is November 2nd, they are picking up the paper bags weekly. Mine were not picked up. You should not state they will be picked up weekly if they are not going to be picked up. Thanks, Danielle
Citizen wants to know why the six houses on his street do not get leaf collection service since they are in the city.
Mr. Sutherland wanted to state that by the time the leaves are picked up by the city they've already blown back up into the person's yard, or even worse, their neighbors yard. He recommends that the city limit the number of days before the leaves are picked up so as to eliminate the above problem.
Mulched leaves can be emptied between the basketball court and the sidewalk behind the Lutheran church at East Third and Smith road. Mulch will be used at their garden nearby. A few loads of leaves were put there last winter. The leaves will be moved with a bucket loader. The leaf pickup driver in Park Ridge this week was agreeable if his supervisor approves.
Graywell got our leaf pickup on Nov. 5, well before many of our leaves had fallen. Will there perhaps be a later, followup sweep for those of us who were caught with our leaves up in the air?
Please cancel environmentally unnecessary leaf collection and divert funds to much much much needed storm branch debris a few times a year.
