Many of you asked me to share whatever answers I might receive to my inquiry about loose leaf pick up in the neighborhood. I got quite a few responses, and the consensus seems to be that there is no loose leaf pick-up in the city. There are trucks out and about that scoop up leaves from the street, but that seems to be an effort to keep the streets clear of leaves that happen to fall there - not leaves piled up by residents. A few of you pointed out that the city specifically asks residents not to rake leaves into the streets. I had asked because I've previously lived in communities where loose leaf pick-up is the norm, but that does not appear to be the case here. So, bagging it is! Keep in mind that the recycling trucks will take bagged leaves with the rest of our recycling during the month of November.
