LEAF COLLECTION MOUNTS IN NORTHERN NEIGHBORHOODS
Crews Move to Central Neighborhoods Tomorrow
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Drier and cooler temperatures caused heavy leaf fall on the first collection pass through the City’s northern neighborhoods and crews are continuing leaf collection in northern neighborhoods through tomorrow.
“The bulk of the leaves in our northern neighborhoods have fallen and residents have been extremely helpful by having their leaves ready for collection. As a result, crews worked on Saturday and are still making a pass through some northern neighborhoods today. Those residents in central neighborhoods shouldn’t worry though – they will receive the same detailed attention beginning tomorrow,” said Bob Kennedy Director of Public Works for the City of Fort Wayne.
Residents can track progress online at cityoffortwayne.org/leaves. The page is updated each afternoon and pinpoints not only the section of town crews are working in, but also the exact neighborhood. Additionally, residents can call the leaf pick-up hotline, 427-2302 to get daily updates.
Each of the City’s 355 neighborhoods will receive two separate pick-ups during the seven-week collection period.. Residents are asked to have their leaves at the curb by 7 a.m., at the beginning of their scheduled collection week.
