Fall Loose Leaf Vacuum Collection Delayed Until Oct. 10
Fall Loose Leaf Vacuum Collection Delayed Until Oct. 10
Due to flood clean-up, the Cedar Rapids Solid Waste and Recycling Division will delay the start of our 2016 Fall Loose Leaf Vacuum Collection program. Instead of starting on Oct. 3, as originally planned, leaf vacuum collection will begin on Oct. 10, with collection starting in the northwest and northeast quadrants. If residents would like to dispose of leaves the week of Oct. 3, we ask customers to first fill their YARDY cart and use paper lawn and leaf bags for any leaves that do not fit in the cart.
Flood clean-up will present unique challenges for our leaf vacuum collection crews. We encourage citizens to sign up for text and email alerts at www.CRNewsNow.com to ensure they have the most up-to-date leaf collection information.
Leaf collection schedules were sent with Cedar Rapids Utilities bills, and a calendar is also available at www.CityofCR.com/Leaf to help customers identify when their leaves will be collected. Customers can also call the Solid Waste & Recycling Division at (319) 286-5897 to determine their collection day.
