Vehicles from the Covington Public Works Department will begin picking up leaves from sidewalks and streets starting on Monday, Oct. 21.
The Public Works Department is asking residents to move their cars to give crews room to work. Crews will follow a formal schedule over the next two months, according to a city press release.
Residents can visit the Leaf Pickup Schedule page on the city’s website to find out when crews will be on your street. When residents type in their address, they will be given two dates: one for the north or east sides of the street, and one for the south and west sides.
Crews will work only one side of the street at a time so residents can park on the other side. Watch for “No Parking” signs put up a business.
Residents can rake or blow leaves to the curb a day before the crews arrive. Leaf piles should be placed away from obstructions such as parked vehicles, fire hydrants, mailboxes, water meters, and landscaping. The piles should contain only leaves and no other yard waste.
The formal schedule runs through Dec. 17, but crews will do spot pick-up until Dec. 31.
