Department of Sanitation Street Sweeping
The autumn season brings an increase in calls to Community Board 10's District Office regarding leaf collection and complaints from local residents about the inability of the street sweeper to absorb all of the leaves. All residents are encouraged to pitch in and help in leaf collection by sweeping and raking leaves and bagging them. Residents should sweep 18 inches from the curb and bag the leaves to help the sweepers. The Department of Sanitation sweeper trucks are not vacuum trucks so they merely sweep and pick up as many leaves as they are capable of doing.
