Leaf pickup is in effect for the City of Beacon. The leaf picker-upper truck is out and is going in quadrants, according to Beacon’s City Administrator Chris White. The truck travels in 4 quadrants of the city, the schedule of which has been posted on the City of Beacon’s website. The last posted quadrant is for November 25, but “will continue until it’s done,” said City Administrator Chris during this week’s City Council meeting.

The City instructs that piles of leaves collected onto the curb for pickup must be leaves only. “Piles with brush and branches will not be collected.” The leaf collector truck has a long tube for suction, and cannot suck up branches.

For leaves with mixed yard waste such as branches and grass, those may still go into a bag which will continue to be picked up as well, but by the regular red pickup trucks of the Highway Department.
