The City thanks all residents for their help to make South Bend a Clean, Safe City! <br /> Residents are reminded to please use the following guidelines when collecting material for <br /> pickup: <br /> Loose Leaf Pickup Guidelines: <br /> • Please rake leaves to the curb line but avoid raking them into the street, as this will plug the <br /> street drains, causing them to flood. <br /> • DO NOT allow children to play in leafpiles! <br /> • Do not park on top of or in front of leaf piles along curb lines. A vehicle left running while <br /> parked over leaves could create enough heat to ignite a fire. <br /> • Do not contaminate leaf piles by putting in sticks,trash, and other debris. We will not pick <br /> these piles up and it will be the property owner's responsibility to dispose of contaminated <br /> piles (we will not come back to these piles). <br /> Christmas Tree Pickup Guidelines: <br /> • All trees should be placed on the tree lawn,near the curb, by 6:00 AM. Do not place <br /> trees in the street or in alleys. <br /> • Please remove all lights, ornaments, and metal, including tree stands or nails,before <br /> discarding Christmas trees. Items left on trees can injure employees or seriously <br /> damage the tree shredding equipment, leaving it inoperable. <br /> • Artificial trees and trees including any metal, glass, or wire,will NOT be collected and <br /> will be the owner's responsibility to dispose. <br /> Yard Waste Guidelines <br /> • Yard waste and brush must be bagged or bundled (no more than 3 feet in length). <br /> • Please place yard waste at the curb and separate from trash and debris, by 6:00 a.m.. <br /> • Do not place yard waste in the alleys. <br /> - 30 - <br />
