November 12, 2009 – The City of Midland Department of Public Services (DPS) will begin its final round of fall leaf collection on Monday, November 16.
Collection crews will begin in
Area B and then proceed through areas C, D and A.
Residents can track the progress of collection crews by
calling the Leaf Collection Hotline at
Once
each area is finished with its final round of collection, street sweepers will
come through to clean up the streets, weather permitting. Please avoid parking on streets while crews
and sweepers are working in your area, and do not put any leaves in the street
once collection is complete.
Residents
with leaves remaining after the final collection should place them into kraft paper
yard waste bags or bins for their scheduled refuse collection day. The 25-cent per bag stickers are not required
through the end of the yard waste collection season.
Due to possible freezing temperatures, yard
waste in yard bins may freeze, hampering their removal by collection crews. Keeping bins in the garage until collection
day will help resolve this problem.
