The Florence Solid Waste, Street, and Recycle Department is issuing a reminder to residents concerning the upcoming leaf collection procedures. Starting on November 1, the department will implement its regular schedule for leaf collection, and it is important to note that they will not be accepting calls regarding pickup requests during this period.
Residents are encouraged to rake their leaves to the curbside, ensuring that they do not place them in the street or gutter. It is essential to keep leaf piles clear of any obstacles, including vehicles, trees, fences, and mailboxes, to facilitate efficient collection. Additionally, it is crucial to avoid covering water meters with leaves. For those who prefer to bag their leaves, the department will provide weekly pickups alongside curbside trash collection.
