Fall/Winter 2015

Leaf Pickup Our first round of city leaf pickups was October 19-23. The city will be collecting leaves in our part of the city again November 9-13. Check www.cityoffortwayne.org closer to the 9th for details on exactly when they will be collecting in our neighborhood. #

For pickup of loose leaves, have your leaves raked to the park strip or curb and ready for pick-up on the first day of our scheduled week. Do not rake leaves into the street as this will help to avoid clogging street drains.#

If you prefer to bag your leaves in biodegradable bags, call 311 when you are ready to have bagged leaves picked up. The bags will be collected within two business days after you call.#

Yard of the Month

Congratulations to Kris Luley at 2710 N Highlands Blvd for winning September's Yard of the Month! What a festive display!

Please Pick Up - A Reminder

As a friendly reminder, please be sure to always pick up after your pets when you go for a walk. The easiest way to do this is to take a baggie along with you when you leave the house. This way we can keep our neighborhood looking (and smelling) nice!
