The Village of Bluffton has begun leaf pickup early this year due to weather conditions and the goal of keeping leaves out of the sewer system. With new equipment, leaf pickup is moving faster than before. Crews will make sweeps starting on Mondays and Thursdays, weather permitting. Please pile leaves on the tree lawn, not in the street. If your property does not have a tree lawn, please pile leaves on the far side of the sidewalk.
