Leaf Collection Guidelines Set
» Katie Carr - Peotone Vedette - August 28, 2008
The Peotone Village Board voted to approve the guidelines for the new leaf collection policy, as suggested by the Public Works Committee, at the Aug. 25 board meeting.
The leaf program will run the week of Oct. 13 through the week of Dec. 1. Leaves and mulch should be left in the parkway (the area between the sidewalk and street) by 6 a.m. Monday and will be collected throughout the week.
No branches, rocks, litter or other materials should be mixed with the leaves, as they pose hazards to workers and equipment. Additionally, the leaves should not be in the street and should be away from storm drains, mailboxes, utility poles and parked cars. The board mentioned that on busy weeks it could take the entire week to collect the leaves throughout town.
To clarify the Aug. 14 village board report, the leaf collection fee of $13.50 will be issued to community members once a year, in the third quarter water bill. This fee goes toward the purchase the equipment and to fund maintenance and operations of the program.
