The City of Glendale will once again pick up leaves beginning early in October through November 11, 2011 (contingent upon the weather) provided the following procedures are followed:
- Leaves raked to the curb and gutter, and road shoulder areas by November 11th will be collected by the City of Glendale Department of Public Works.
- Leaves placed on City right-of-ways for City pickup should be raked in long narrow piles that are within reach of the leaf vacuum tube.
- Piles should not extend into traffic lanes, thereby creating traffic hazards.
- Leaves should not be placed around obstacles such as mail box posts, sign posts and light poles.
- Crews will not pick up leaves mixed with debris, logs, branches, rocks, plastic, metal or glass containers or any other type of refuse.
- Leaves should not be placed on City cul-de-sacs, vacant land or City property except on the public right-of-way along the curb and gutter, and road shoulder areas.
Roadways with Curbs and Gutters: Leaves should be placed on the pavement on the roadside of the curb. To prevent street flooding, do not place leaves on top of storm sewer grates.
Roadways with Shoulders: Leaves should be placed on the shoulder of the road and not extend into the roadway.
Roadways with Ditches: Leaves should be placed no farther than 4 feet from the edge of the pavement, but in no event shall they extend into the water flow line of the ditch.
Alley Collection: Leaf collection will no longer be made from "dead end" or "no outlet" alleys.
WARNING: DRIVERS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR CHILDREN PLAYING IN LEAF OR BRUSH PILES.
