Two Pick-Ups Schedule for Each Neighborhood
Leaf pick-up in the City's 355 neighborhoods will begin later this month.
The Street Department will collect leaves in two separate sweeps through each neighborhood. Crews will roll into the neighborhoods between October 26th and December 11, 2009.
Fort Wayne Leaf Pick-up 2009:
- October 26-30 Central
- November 2-6 South
- November 9-13 North
- November 16-20 Central
- November 29- Dec 4 South
- December 7-11 North
Leaf collection can occur on any day of the designated collection week. It is important for residents to have leaves ready for pick-up by 7:00 a.m. on Monday of their designated week. Crews cannot backtrack through neighborhoods.
Leaf collection is provided at the street only. Leaves are to be raked to the curb or park strip in front of the residence or placed in biodegradable bags for collection. Other yard waste should not be mixed with the leaves, and cars should not be parked over the leaves.
Residents can visit the City's website at www.cityoffortwayne.org to view the schedule for their neighborhood. The site will be updated daily during the collection period with the latest information about where crews will be on a particular day. Additionally, residents can call the leaf pick-up hotline, 427-2302 to get daily updates.
To schedule a pick-up with biodegradable bags, residents can call 3-1-1.
