2012 CITY OF PERRYSBURG

• The City of Perrysburg will begin its fall leaf collection on Monday, October 15th. All leaves must be out for collection by Sunday, November 25^th. During this period, the city will be covered several times. 
• Collection will resume on Monday, November 26^th for the final sweep. LEAVES PUT OUT ONCE CREWS HAVE BEEN BY WILL NOT BE PICKED UP.  A supervisor will follow the crew to assure all leaf piles were picked up so there will be no question.

• Rake leaves to the right-of-way, the area between the curb and the sidewalk, and NOT in the street.
• Pile the leaves in the right-of-way. DO NOT bag them as we use trailer-mounted leaf vacuum units.
• Please refrain from piling leaves near mailboxes and do not park in front of any leaf piles as it is difficult to maneuver the hoses around parked cars. 
• There is NO leaf pick up in alleys.
• Keep the storm drains clear of leaf debris. If you have a storm drain in front of your home, remove the leaf debris and add it to your leaf pile.
• This is a leaf pick up ONLY. Do not mix branches and other debris with the leaf piles because crews will leave the entire pile.

CLICK HERE FOR EXAMPLES OF GOOD LEAF PILES 

• Leaves raked in narrow piles are easier to collect with the leaf vacuum. Do not make the piles over four feet from the curb because the hose of the leaf vacuum cannot reach farther.

• Park your car away from leaf piles so city crews can reach leaf piles with the vacuum hose.

• Pile leaves away from fire hydrants, mailboxes and street signs.

EXAMPLES OF BAD LEAF PILES 

• Do not rake or blow leaves into the street or curb. Keep the leaves in the grass area betweent the curb and the sidewalk.

• Do not place brush or any other debris such as cornstalks, pumpkins or weeds with the leaves. This debris damages the leaf vacuum.

• Do not rake leaves into the street because they block the storm sewers and can result in street flooding.
