The Plymouth and Culver Street Departments are sending a quick reminder to residents as autumn picks up speed: the leaves are falling fast, and both communities have crews ready to collect them.
Leaf crews in both Plymouth and Culver regularly sweep through the city and town to collect leaves left at the curb. Residents are asked to rake leaves to the curb for pickup — not into the street — to keep roadways clear and help crews work efficiently.
The street departments are asking residents to keep sticks, brush, and trash out of leaf piles. These items can damage the vacuum equipment used for collection and delay pickup for everyone on the route.
Brush will be picked up separately from leaves.
Culver residents who want brush removed sooner can take it to the Street Department off Mill Street by the water tower, where a designated area is available for yard debris. In Plymouth, the Street Department picks up yard waste on Mondays and Fridays at the curb.
