Leaves and /or grass clippings must be at curbside by 7:00 A.M. on your
collection day. Leaves and/or grass for collection should not be placed in the
traveled portion of the roadway where traffic would be impeded. Place leaves
and/or grass clippings at a location away from any objects such as parked cars, low
hanging tree limbs, catch basins, or drainpipes. It is important that leaves and/or
grass clippings are not placed in the actual ditch-line or in the curb and
gutter area in front of your home to prevent potential flooding of the streets that
could be created by the practices listed above.
Sticks, rock, brick, or any foreign type objects should be kept out of the leaves
and/or grass clippings for pick-up as these type objects delay the collection process
and can cause severe damage to the collection equipment.
Residents are encouraged to retain leaves and/or grass clippings on their
property and compost when possible by implementing a “backyard composting
project.” Residents wanting leaves for gardening purposes should contact the City
of Eden’s Street Division for information on signing up for delivery of leaves by
the truck load.
For additional information regarding leaf and/or grass clippings collection
services, contact Rodney Carter, Supt., Solid Waste Division at 627-7783 ext. 104,
or The Environmental Services Department at 623-2110, Option 4.
