Put those leaves on your curb. They'll disappear shortly.

Village employees turned on the leaf sweeper this week. According to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, the service department will continue its leaf pickup until the end of November.

Monday's council packet is in an attachment at the bottom of this story.

Residents should place un-bagged leaves on the side of the street, in front of residences, as close to the curb as posible.

The village asks residents to assist in the process by clearing leaves from catch basins and curb drains.

Persons who park vehicles in the street should be aware of leaf piles when parking, so that crews are able to get as close to the leaves for pickup.

Residents are also encouraged to take leaves to the village brush dump on Spring Street. Do not place leaves in bags at the brush dump.
