It takes approximately five to six weeks to complete a pass from one side of the City to the other. If your leaves do not comply with the policy, they will not be collected. If your leaves are not at the curb and ready for pick up they will not be collected and you will have to wait until the next truck route down your street.
Call the Public Works main number at 942-4028 to see what neighborhood the leaf vacuum trucks are currently working. This information is updated weekly.
