Public Works defends later leaf pickup schedule, cites recycling and ARPA projects
Summary
Public Works told the council it started leaf pickup later this season, has hauled about 241 loads (some 425 man‑hours), diverted 14 tons of cardboard to recycling, and is preparing ARPA‑funded pool filter and fire‑station work including a pending bid for bathroom remodeling.
Public Works officials told the Signal Mountain Town Council they delayed the seasonal leaf pickup to wait for a greater proportion of leaves to fall, and that the later start increased daily volume and extended the pickup window. The director said crews had completed Areas 4, 5 and 1 and were working in Area 2, averaging about 12 loads per day (approximately six loads per truck) and reporting roughly 241 loads removed and about 425 man‑hours logged to date.
