Leaf collection this week

Cleaning the streets is an annual event – prior to all the Decemnber holiday events on the Hill.

Can someone clarify the process here for those of us who haven’t participated in the city’s leaf cleanup before? Are we to bag our leaves and put them on the side of the street with the signs, or do they collect loose leaves, or do they do one side of the street and the other at separate times?

Some people blow the leaves into the street the night before, some people blow the leaves when they come by the day of. Some people are jerks and leave their cars in the street. If you live near nine mile road, they will tow you. I saw tow trucks lined up on 28th street today. If you catch them while your car is getting hooked up, they will let off for only $65 cash.

Closer to broad evidentally they do not tow like they do in other parts of the city….. because they do not want to make certain people “upset”.

And I saw 2 cars towed on the 300-400 blocks of N. 27th today.

Last year, they were towing cars like gangbusters around Nolde Bakery.
