The Village of Bluffton service department is now picking up leaves on a full-time basis.
Residents should place unbagged leaves on the side of the street in front of their residences, according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator.
“Please place the leaves on the street as close to the curb as possible,” he said. “Utilize the tree lawn if available and do not allow the leaf pile to extend into the lanes of traffic.”
Mehaffie asked residents to assist the service department by clearing leaves away from the catch basins and curb drains in the village.

Who were Dorothy and Harry Ream? Did they make all those cutout displays on the Bluffton Presbyterian Church lawn on display between Thanksgiving and New Year's? What’s their story?
Answers to those questions, for a generation of people who don’t know the Ream story, will be part of this year’s Blaze celebration. This summer, the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce invited a troupe of local actors and singers to put the Ream story to drama and music.
