Turning Over an Old Leaf

Continuing their autumn assault on city leaves, Greencastle Department of Public Works Department employees Adam Jones on the ground and Andrew Rogers in the cab, attack large leaf piles with the city’s leaf vacuum Tuesday at the east end of Highwood Avenue. Leaf-collection efforts follow the city trash route schedule as closely as possible, weather permitting. Residents are advised to rake leaves to the edge of the street or into the area between the street and sidewalk -- but never into the roadway where they can be washed into the storm sewer and clog that system. Leaf pick-up will continue within the city limits through Nov. 30, except for the Thanksgiving holiday Thursday and Friday, Nov. 22-23.
