<br />Leaf Pickup Schedule for the Week of November 21st through November 25th, 2005Page 1of 2 <br />st <br />"Building a 21 Century City " <br />Stephen J. Luecke, Mayor <br />RELEASE FROM:FOR RELEASE: <br />Office of the MayorThursday, November 17, 2005 <br />Leaf Pickup Schedule for the Week of November 21st through November 25th, 2005 <br />Updated Leaf Pickup Information <br />Following is the loose leaf pickup schedule for the week of November 21st through November 25th, 2005: <br />Monday, Nov. 21 North East Quadrant McKinley Blvd. to Jefferson Blvd. <br />Tuesday, Nov. 22 North East Quadrant Jefferson Blvd. to St. Joe River <br />Wednesday, Nov. 23 South East Quadrant St. Joe River to Ewing St. <br />Thursday, Nov. 24 HOLIDAY OBSERVED – NO PICKUP <br />Friday, Nov. 25 HOLIDAY OBSERVED – NO PICKUP <br />VIEW MAP <br />Crews may experience delays due to inclement weather. Leaf pickup is expected to continue through the <br />end of November, in order to complete pickup in the South East quadrant. Updated schedules will be <br />available by calling the ReLeaf Information Line at 287-5005. <br />As the City of South Bend makes its final rounds for loose leaf pickup for 2005, we ask residents for their <br />help in clearing up any leftover leaves, as we convert leaf equipment for snow removal. Residents who have <br />leaves remaining after loose leaf pickup ends in their neighborhoods are asked to utilize the City’s Yard <br />Waste pickup program. Leaves must be bagged and placed at curbside by 6:00 a.m. on their regular trash <br />pickup day. <br />Raking and bagging leftover leaves is critical because loose leaves drift into the street and accumulate snow <br />and ice, clogging stormwater drains and causing runoff and melting water to freeze on roads and sidewalks. <br />These icy conditions are hazardous to vehicles and pedestrians, especially children and the elderly. <br />The Yard Waste pickup program will continue for one week after loose leaf pickup ends. Bagged leaf <br />collection will then be available on a call-in basis throughout the winter. For more information on bagged leaf <br />pickup, please call the Bureau of Solid Waste at 277-8823. <br />Contact: Sam Hensley, Director of Streets, 235-9244 <br />Go <br />Back | City Home Page | City Directory | Site Map | Search <br />powered by FreeFind <br />Created by the City of South Bend Department of Information Technologies. <br />http://www.ci.south-bend.in.us/Press/Releases_2005/111805_Releaf.htm1/13/2006 <br /> <br />
