ORLEANS — Town crews in Orleans are actively collecting bagged leaves and running the town’s leaf machine pickup. Officials remind residents that household trash and bagged leaves must be kept separate for pickup.
Crews will continuously move from pile to pile until all leaves are collected, after which they will make another circuit through town.
Guidelines for Residents
To ensure efficient collection and keep town roadways clear, residents are asked to follow these important instructions:
- Placement: Rake leaves to the tree plot area located between the sidewalk and the curb, and not directly into the street.
- Prohibited Burning: The burning of leaves is strictly prohibited on any town street or roadway.
- Debris Removal: Residents should remove large sticks and similar debris from leaf piles, as foreign objects clog vacuum pipes and significantly slow down crew progress.
Anyone with questions regarding the leaf collection schedule or town procedures can contact the Orleans Town Offices at 812-865-2539.
