Fall Cleanup 101
– place loose leaf piles between the sidewalk and street for pickup. Do not place leaves in the
roadway. Leaves in the road can become a traffic hazard and clog storm drains causing flooding.
– place only leaves in loose piles for pickup. Branches and non-yard waste material in piles could
damage the leaf vacuum and injure crew members.
– do not place leaves around utility poles, trees or hydrants. Leaf piles located around aboveground structures slows down the crews. Leaves covering hydrants create an emergency response hazard and may cause injury to crews operating equipment.
– place bags or branches and brush in separate pile from loose leaves.
– Inside District residents do not need to call DPW or submit requests for pickup.
– Outside District residents need to call (315) 363-7222 to request their green waste pickup.
DPW will be doing a pickup of Outside District by Friday, Nov. 14.
– the city offers self-drop-off if residents do not want to wait for pick-up. Residents can drop-off
green waste at the site off of the Route 5 entrance next to Oneida Creek bridge between the hours of 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Mon-Fri. No commercial green waste is allowed.
Call the Public Works office at (315) 363-7222 with additional comments or questions.
