Compost bins are available; Leaf vacuuming is underway for 2008

The leaves are falling from trees in full force!  My household had an industrious weekend of raking.  The casualties included a snapped rake and some sore muscles.  But, we're delighted that our "Vintage 2008" batch of compost is in progress. 

If you need a compost bin for your yard, stop in at one of our bin pick-up locations.  We've made sure that they are well-stocked for your visit.

Leaf vacuuming collection began on November 3, 2008, and will continue for several weeks.  Our colleagues in Highway Services are posting updates on their crews' leaf pickup progress.   Also, check out the do's and don'ts that will help keep your neighborhood safe while your leaves await collection, and enable crews to work more efficiently.

We've gathered the links for grasscycling, composting, compost bin locations, and leaf collection in one handy place for you:
