There's a methodology to fall leaf collection
The calendar has changed to the month of October and with that also comes the color change in the leaves which have started to fall to the ground.
The City of Frankenmuth will begin its fall leaf collection on Monday, October 12, and it will run until Friday, November 20, depending on the weather.
“If residents have leaves that fall later, they can put leaves and other yard waste into bags or containers for weekly Wednesday pickup,” Frankenmuth City Manager Bridget Smith said. “Yard waste pickup on Wednesdays will end on Wednesday, December 9.”
All yard waste materials must be placed in paper yard waste bags or in 20-gallon or smaller garbage cans with handles that have a “Yard Waste” sticker affixed to the front of the can. Yard waste stickers are available at the City Office, 240 West Genesee Street, or Gill-Roy’s Hardware or Frankenmuth True Value Hardware.
“Please do not place pumpkins, sticks, garden debris, etc. in leaf piles. Nothing should be swept into the curb/street other than leaves,” Smith pointed out.
The Frankenmuth City Department of Public Works (DPW) collects leaves at the curb each autumn, starting in mid-October. The DPW staff asks residents to please limit this collection to leaves only.
The city’s yard waste program allows residents to place other yard waste, such as grass clippings, twigs, garden material, flowers, pumpkins in yard waste containers for weekly pick up.
In order to make the collection as efficient as possible, the city asks to please abide by the following regulations:
Limit piles to leaves only.
No grass clippings because they are too fine for this collection................
