Department of Public Works - 2007 Fall Leaf Pick-Up Program

The City of Countryside will begin the fall leaf pick up program for City residents on October 15th and ending on December 7th, 2007.  This program will be implemented in the same manner as the brush pick up.  Crews will be collecting leaves on a continuous cycle throughout the entire program period.

In order for this program to be successful, we ask all residents to observe the guidelines listed below.  Please take note that it is very important that leaves should not be raked into the street as this can cause flooding during periods of heavy rainfall by blocking and plugging storm sewer inlets.

We ask all residents who plan on participating in the leaf collection program to rake the leaves onto the parkway.  Please keep leaf piles clean of any other debris such as brush, branches, vines, garbage, etc.  Your cooperation is key to making this program work.

• Leaves should be raked onto the parkway.
• Leaves SHALL NOT be raked into the street.  This causes flooding in the sewers.
• Do not deposit branches, sticks, garbage or other debris into the leaf piles.
• Crews will be covering the City on a continuous cycle.  Please allow several days for pick-up.
