Leaf Collection Available for City Residents
By Staff Reports
The Tube City Almanac
November 28, 2018
Posted in: Announcements
The snow may be flying, but the leaves are still dropping, leaving (you see what we did there?) a Tube City Almanac reader to wonder what he should do with them.
A spokeswoman says McKeesport residents who have leaves that need to be picked up may call the city's public works department at (412) 675-5020, ext. 631, to arrange a collection.
The leaves should be in piles along the curb --- or the edge of the property --- to be swept up. Leaves can also be placed in bags for pick up.
No other debris or trash should be mixed in with the leaves, including branches. However, branches can be picked up separately.
