LEAF PICK UP IN EATON TOWNSHIP

Eaton Township: Our Road & Bridge crew will pick up roadside from from Monday, October 25 to Tuesday, November 30.
Visit our website / Face-book page for more information. www.eatontownship.org

Residents can help to ensure that the collection process runs smoothly by following these simple rules:

• Place only leaves in the leaf piles. Other forms of yard waste such as: rocks, tree branches, twigs, flowers, straw, corn stalks,
weeds, fruit, animal feces, walnuts, and grass clippings slow the collection process and damage township equipment.

• Leaf piles should be placed at your curb (without obstructing traffic). Leaves should NOT be piled behind parked vehicles or
near the storm drain. Property owners without curbs may pile their leaves as close to the street as possible, but should never be
placed in the street. Township vehicles will not leave the paved area, so make sure your leaves are stacked within 5 feet of the
curb. If we cannot reach the leaves, we cannot pick them up.
• Do NOT pile leaves closer than 4 feet to mailboxes, signpost and other objects.
• Do NOT bag leaves
• Do NOT pile leaves in ditches or over catch basins or risers - This may cause flooding.

Uncontrollable conditions such as equipment breakdown, bad weather and/or emergency work make it difficult to know what
day the township will be there to collect leaves. The leaf vacuum machines are unable to pick up leaves that have become frozen
to the ground or are exceptionally heavy from water. Freezing rain, sleet or snow will halt the vacuum collection of leaves. We
will cover all areas of the Township - BUT THERE IS NO SET SCHEDULE - PHONE CALLS ARE NOT NECESSARY.
