MORENCI — The Morenci Department of Public Works (DPW) has scheduled leaf pickup to begin in October.
Leaf pickup will start on Monday, Oct. 13, and continue until Friday, Dec. 12. Brush pickup is ongoing.
Residents are asked to follow these guidelines for leaf collection:
- Bagging of leaves is strongly discouraged.
- Leaves should be placed next to the curb, but not in the street.
- Position leaves as close to the curb as possible without interfering with traffic patterns.
- Ensure leaves are free of chunks of wood and foreign objects. If such items are found in leaf piles, leaves will be left behind, and homeowners will be responsible for their disposal.
If residents would like to discard leaves before curbside leaf pick-up begins or after it concludes, they are encouraged to do so at the compost pile behind the DPW facility located at 597 W. Chestnut St. Please ensure that leaves and brush are kept separate and placed in the appropriate designated area when disposing.
