Huntington Street Division Responsive in Picking Up Bagged Leaves

After blowing all of the leaves off of the street in front of our residence and bagging them, we called the City of Huntington Street Division and advised them that we had about twenty bags of leaves we removed from the street and the city's property. The nice lady on the phone took my name, address and phone number and advised me that she would have them picked up. They were picked up within 48-hours.

If each property owner will bag all fallen leaves on your property and place them at the curb, the street division will pick them up, but you must call them to schedule the pick-up. Do not merely rake them into the gutter, as this practice is harmful to our combined sanitation/storm water sewer system and, also, reduces the number of on-street parking spaces.

We encourage city residents to assist our city government by raking/blowing and bagging all fallen leaves on your property and in the street at the perimeter of your property. The city does not currently have enough equipment, or manpower, to remove fallen leaves throughout all of our neighborhoods. However, they have announced they will pick up bagged leaves, if requested.

So, bag them. Then, call the City of Huntington Street Division at (304) 696-4483. If you do your part, the street division will do theirs. Let's all work together to make our city a better place to live, work, study and play!
