MOUNT VERNON — The City of Mount Vernon will begin picking up leaves on Monday, Nov. 5.
The city will have three machines operating this season. The machines will be picking up all of the main streets first, then proceed to the side streets and outlying areas.
“We emphasize that leaves be raked to the curb, but not out into the street,” the city stated in a press release. “Raking leaves into the street results in clogging up storm sewers.
“Please refrain from parking on the streat when leaf pickup is scheduled for that area.”
A list of streets, in the order of pick-up, can be found on the City’s website here.
It will be updated daily after leaf pick-up begins.
For updates on where leaf pick-up is taking place check the City’s website, or call the Street Department at 740-393-9501 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. weekdays. How quickly or slowly your street is reached depends on the weather and how many people do or do not have their leaves raked to the curbs.
Again, please have your leaves raked to the curb and not out into the street.
