Public Works Committee Minutes/October 21 , 1987 Page 4 service , as well as Superior Waste , would be picking up leaves along with all other trash. He also noted that the city would begin utilizing two leaf vacuums , in heavily wooded areas , typ- ically on Fridays. He noted that there would be one thousand pounds per cubic yard , and that the actual compactors would be used in the operation. Councilman Puzzello-.questioned whether infact the city was allowing residents to rake their leaves into the street , in the heavily wooded areas. Mr. Leszczynski stated that once the actual scheduling of when the leaf vacuums would be publicized , that this might be arranged , however, the residents had to be aware of public safety considerations with regard to raking leaves into a public street . Mr. Leszczynski noted that the city would only be picking up bagged leaves from city cus- tomers , and would no longer be picking them up city-wide from noncustomers. He also suggested that perhaps volunteers from the Lung Association, and other organizations, who are interested in banning leaf burning, may be able to assist in having programs to help individuals bag their leaves during the upcoming weeks. Following further discussion . by the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 4 :55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Thomas Zakrzewski Chairman •
