The Department of Public Works is announcing that City-wide
leaf collection will begin on Monday, October 29, 2018. Leaves only (no tree limbs, branches, or
ornamental grass) will be collected from the pavement and loaded mechanically
into dump trucks for removal. The order of collection will be as follows:
• Areas east
of North and South Union Street to the Olean Creek and Allegheny River.
• West Olean
from Union Street to the west City line, south of West Sullivan Street.
• The
immediate area north of West Sullivan Street including areas along Wayne
Street, Coleman Street, and cross streets.
• North Olean
• Boardmanville
Area
• South Olean
• East Olean
Leaves should not be raked into the roadway until the
weekend of October 27-28, 2018.
The public should refrain from parking vehicles on such streets
anticipating a collection. The City will
make every attempt to perform a second round of collection to get as many
leaves picked up as possible. However,
we make no guarantee that will be able to happen before the weather changes so
the public is encouraged NOT to place more leaves in the roadway after the first
collection has been finished as doing so can interfere with drainage and
plowing operations.
Questions regarding the leaf collection schedule should be
directed to the Department of Public Works, phone 376-5650.
