Collection crews continue working in neighborhoods in the North, central and South
Fort Wayne, Ind. – Due to the large volume of leaves at the curb, City crews will work tomorrow to finish leaf collection in north side neighborhoods.
Next week, the week of Thanksgiving, is a designated catch up week. Some crews will remain north to finish up the second pass through northern neighborhoods. Once that second pass is complete crews will move to central neighborhoods to get a head start on a heavy volume of leaves already at the curb in those neighborhoods.
Crews will return for the regularly scheduled second pass through the central neighborhoods the week of Dec. 2.
Residents may call 311 to schedule pick-up for leaves placed in biodegradable bags. The bags should be at the curb and will be picked up within two business days of the call to 311.
"Calling 311 for your bagged leaves is a great option for residents who want leaves picked up on their schedule. As we wrap up the week of December 2, we will evaluate any further needs." said Bob Kennedy, Director of Public Works.
Neighborhoods in south Fort Wayne were impacted most by leaves falling later than normal this year. If weather permits, crews will go back to those south neighborhoods the week of Dec. 9.
Residents can get information about which neighborhoods crews will be in tomorrow at www.cityoffortwayne.org/leaves or by calling the leaf pick-up hotline, 427-2302. This information is updated each collection day.
