Leaf Pick-Up In Beaver Dam Begins Next Week

(Beaver Dam) Leaf pick-up in Beaver Dam begins next week.  DPW officials have announced that leaves — along with lawn grass rakings resulting from leaf gathering, garden vines and stalks – may be placed in the terrace areas of the street edge in loose piles for collection by the Department of Public Works starting on Sunday, October 7th. Collection will continue through late November. Yard waste cannot be placed in the street or gutter, or in any containers. Leaves, rakings and garden debris cannot be mixed with other forms of waste like brush or shrubbery cuttings.  Fruits, nuts and vegetables are not acceptable for pickup and should be disposed of as garbage.  The items can also be dropped off at Beaver Dam’s Yard Waste site, which is located at 640 South Center Street. No waste of any kind is allowed from outside the city.
