MOUNT
PULASKI - The City of Mount Pulaski Leaf Collection Program has been
scheduled. The program will run from Monday, October 19th, 2015 to
Mon., December 14th, 2015. Leaf collection will be made one time
each week starting on Mondays until entire town is completed.
Weather permitting and barring any unforeseen situations the
collection will be consistent. We will be utilizing our Leaf Vacuum
to assist our residents with the disposal of leaves. To help make
this program a success, we ask our residents to please follow the
guidelines below:
|
1.) The Leaf Vacuum is designed for
leaf removal only. Do not place sticks, limbs, or other debris in
the leaf pile. These foreign materials may cause damage to the
machine and possible injury to City Personnel. Foreign material will
cause us to bypass all of your leaves!
2.) Placement of the leaves is a key
element to the success of the program. Place the leaves in a row so
that they are located within 4 feet of the edge of the pavement.
3.) Keep the leaf piles no higher than
3 feet, for safety and visibility.
4.) Leaves should be placed and ready
for pickup every Monday by 7:30 a.m. We intend to collect leaves on
every Monday and will do the entire town before we start over again.
More days will be added as the work load grows. Please be patient,
we will get to your leaves.

5.) Rake your leaves to the back of the
curb, on the city boulevard. If cars are continuously parked in
front of your leaf piles, please place the leaves at the edge of
your driveway.
6.) Do not place leaves on rocks or
graveled areas, road ditches, or on the street.

7.) We can pick up leaves that are
either dry or wet. If you have problems with the leaves blowing, you
can wet them down. Another option is to cover the leaves with a
tarp. Do not place leaves in an area where you have previously had
a fire. We will not vacuum leaves from this area, because of the
potential of smoldering material becoming ignited inside of the Leaf
Vacuum.
Leaves may also be burned in accordance with the City Ordinances.
Copies of the ordinance may be obtained by contacting City Hall.
Leaves may also be mulched by utilizing a mulching blade on your
lawn mower.
Should you have any questions or concerns about this leaf collection
program, please call City Hall at 792-3222.
