Season’s Change

Of all the services the City offers, the lazy man in me loves leaf pickup the most. (Well, second to Christmas decorations.) After years of bagging every last leaf in my yard and hauling them to the parkway, the Leaf Pickup Program is a service I look forward to.
The City of Geneva is going all out to let us know the where and when so none of us are left behind: flyers in utility bills, signs posted and there’s even a leaf collection commercial on Comcast Channel 10.
If there’s early snow (what else is new?), leaf collection trucks are being used for snow removal; and I have a tree that out of total disrespect refuses to drop its leaves on schedule. So what do I do then? The City has it covered with the Bag Collection Program beginning November 30. I’m back to putting leaves in yard bags again; but at least I don’t have to put stickers on. It’s a free service.
Will this take care of our leaf problems for 2009? Of course, not. As always, Mother Nature has a way of doing what she wants when she wants.
