Rather than removing them from your lawn, leave them where they lay and make a few passes with a lawnmower to mulch them and enhance the health of your yard.<\/p>\n Mulching the leaves on your lawn has many rewards, including a positive impact on the natural environment. The mulched leaves provide nutrients that will help the soil and lawn, as well as support the microorganisms and insects that live in the soil.\u00a0 Mulched leaves can also be used in garden beds and around shrub roots to act as a protective layer during the harsh winter months.<\/p>\n For more information on trash or recycling collections, please call the Bureau of Recycling and Solid Waste at 610-437-8729 or visit our website at\u00a0www.allentownpa.gov\/recycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n STREET LEAF COLLECTION SCHEDULE<\/strong><\/p>\n District by district street cleaning of leaves will begin on Monday, October 25.\u00a0 Residents are reminded to\u00a0keep the leaf piles about a foot away from the curb and to make sure there are no branches, rocks, or trash\/debris in the piles.\u00a0 Residents are asked to keep nearby inlet or catch basin grates free of debris as well.<\/p>\n A complete schedule of planned leaf collections is available at\u00a0www.allentownpa.gov\/Public-Works\/Streets\/Leaf-Removal-Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n Information provided to TVL by: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Allentown Department of Public Works is announcing the 2021 fall yard waste and leaf collection schedules.
