2012 Leaf Pickup

2012 Leaf Pick up

Please put leaves all the way to the edge of the road, so the leaf hose can reach them. The truck may leave ruts in the yard, if they have to pull up on the grass to get to the leaves. All branches need to be separate of the leaf piles. The branches clog the suction tube.

The village has been divided into 4 quarters.

1. We will start leaf removal on East Main St working East then South on Annis Rd, completing all North and south bound lanes. Also east and west bound lanes on East Main.

2. Our next clean up will be South Lake and Russia Rd

3. Will be all roads north of state route 113. (North Lake- Maroy Etc.)

Will be west of the intersection (West Main – Leonard Etc.)

4. Our leaf vacuum only has a 6 foot vacuum hose. We cannot vacuum leaves past that.

After we complete one pass of the village, we will start 2^nd pass. That will complete the job.

Please keep branches out of leaves. Branches clog the vac hose. This creates lengthy down time trying to unclog the vac hose.

2012 Dumpster Days

Spring Dumpster Days to be determined. Dumpster hours are Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please bring your water bill or driver's license to show proof of residence in the Village.

We cannot take tires, paint, or construction material. We will take appliances that use Freon; however, they must be tagged that the Freon has been removed. We will also take batteries.
