Guidelines Offered for Leaf Disposal

Florence Solid Waste, Street and Recycle Department is reminding residents about guidelines for leaf collection.  Beginning November 1, the department will begin regular leaf collection schedules and calls regarding pickups will not be accepted.  They ask that you remember to rake leaves to the curbside, but NOT in the street or gutter.  Leaf piles should be kept away from obstacles such as cars, trees, fences and mailboxes.  Do not cover water meters.  And remember that bagged leaves will be picked up weakly with curbside trash.
