The City of Roanoke has begun its annual bagged leaf collection.
The city asks that bagged leaves be brought to the street, not the alley, on the same day as normal trash pickup. Leaves should be placed separate from refuse containers. Bags containing trash will be marked and left for regular refuse trucks.
Leaves will be recycled into mulch, which will then be made available to residents free of charge. The mulch will be given out at the corner of Courtland Avenue and Carver Road.
For more information, call 981-2255.
