District by district street cleaning of leaves began in earnest on Monday, October 29.  Residents are reminded to try to keep the piles about a foot away from the curb and to make sure there are no branches, rocks, or debris in the piles.  Residents are asked to keep nearby inlet or catch basin grates free of debris.

A complete schedule of planned leaf collections is available at www.allentownpa.gov/Public-Works/Streets/Leaf-Removal-Program.

As of November 26, residents are urged to bag their leaves in plastic garbage bags for pick-up by the Streets Department.  Residents must put their bags at the curb and call the Bureau of Streets at 610-437-7638 or 610-437-7691.  Please allow a few days for pick-up of the bagged leaves.  Bags that have a mixture of leaves and garbage will not be picked-up.
