Leaf pickup 2010

From www.cityoffortwayne.org:

Each fall, the City of Fort Wayne provides curbside leaf pick-up for City residents. Again, this year, the Street Department will conduct two leaf pick-ups in each neighborhood. Leaf collection will begin October 25, 2010 and run through December 10, 2010.

• Rake leaves to the park strip area, not into the street, or put them in biodegradable yard waste bags and set the bags at the curb for collection.

• The planned schedule may change due to inclement weather or if the volume of leaf pick-up in a particular week requires more time in the area. Please visit the City’s website during leaf season at www.cityoffortwayne.org or call the Leaf Hotline at 427-2302 for locations of where crews will be picking up leaves each day.

• If you use biodegradable bags, call 3-1-1 (or 427-8311), for pick-up within two business days.

• REMEMBER...
Burning leaves within the City limits is a violation of City Code. The fine is $50, $75 after 30 days. (Ordinance #74.70)

OCTOBER 25 – DECEMBER 10, 2010

• Please have your leaves ready for pick-up on the first day of your scheduled week. The Street Department will be in your area sometime that week to collect your leaves, weather permitting.
