Charles City announces leaf and brush pickup days

City employees will again be picking up leaves and brush this year.

The Street Department has announced that the final brush and leaf pickup will officially begin the week of Oct. 24.

Residents are asked to place brush on the boulevard with the cut ends facing the street. City employees will make only one pass through town. If you miss getting your brush out in time for pickup, the Shaw Avenue Dumpsite is still open daily for your convenience.

Whole trees will not be picked up.

Residents are asked to rake leaves into the street 6 to 12 inches away from the curb and storm sewers. This allows the leaves to be picked up easier and the rainwater to flow toward the storm sewers and not plug the intakes.

Leaf piles with brush mixed in will not be picked up.
