As springtime sweeps into Whitehall, the city is gearing up for its semi-annual Leaf Removal Program, scheduled to take place April 14-28. This initiative aims to facilitate the community in clearing away fallen leaves efficiently and ensuring the city maintains its natural beauty and charm.
Residents are reminded of the following guidelines to streamline the leaf removal process:
1. Unbagged Leaves: Leaves should not be bagged for collection. Residents are urged to rake them to the edge of the pavement, where they will be promptly collected.
2. Curb and Gutter: For residents with curb and gutter, leaves must be raked over the curb and into the street. This ensures smoother collection and efficient removal.
3. Avoid Mixing Sticks: It is essential to refrain from mixing sticks with the leaves. Sticks can clog and damage the vacuum machine used for collection, potentially causing delays. To ensure the smooth operation of the program, sticks should be separated from the leaf piles.
4. Collection Frequency: Every effort will be made to collect leaves once per week. However, this may vary depending on factors such as weather conditions, the volume of leaves, and public holidays. The city appreciates residents’ patience and understanding in this regard.
The Spring Leaf Removal Program is an integral part of Whitehall’s ongoing commitment to maintaining cleanliness and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the city. By adhering to the guidelines and cooperating with the designated schedule, residents play a vital role in ensuring the success of this community-wide effort.
