CULVER — Beginning Monday, the Culver Street/Utilities Department will pick up piles of leaves raked to the curb.
Please place leaf piles as close to the road as possible, but do not place them in the road. The truck has a vacuum hose, and it only extends so far, so if you notice a nice line of remaining leaves, they were outside of the arm’s reach.
Please make sure to pull branches and sticks out of any leaf piles and set them in a separate pile so that they do not get sucked up with the leaves and clog the hose.
Please do not rake your leaf piles into the streets. When that happens, they get run over and matted down, which makes it difficult to collect them all. They also cover storm drains, slowing down drainage and causing backups.
Once a complete route through town is completed, they will start over so they should pass by properties at least once a week.
Any questions, contact Karen Heim, Clerk-Treasurer, Town of Culver, ILMCT Past-President, 574-842-3140, http://www.townofculver.org
