Street Cleaning
Street Cleaning handles street sweeping, cleaning median islands and buffer walls, and leaf collection. Street Cleaning performs the following:

• Street sweeping - once a month sweeping of residential streets;
• Cleaning median islands and buffer walls - twice a year;
• Leaf Collection - October through January, residents are allowed to place leaves on the street to be picked up by City crews. Leaf piles should be placed at least two (2) feet away from the gutter, so as not to block the gutter flow line.

Residents are allowed to place leaves on the street during the months of November through January, each year. Leaves should be placed 2 feet away from the curb so that water does not pond in the gutter. Street crew picks up leaves using a front end loader with a claw bucket.

Leaves are placed in a modified garbage truck and hauled to the City's wood waste recycling facility. The leaf program is aimed at keeping the City's storm system in good operating condition by decreasing the amount of debris that gets into storm lines and storm pump stations.
