Dateline IndyGov - press releases of note: You Rake It, We'll Take It -- The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (DPW) will soon begin to collect fallen leaves throughout Marion County. Last year, more than 18 million pounds of leaves were collected during the annual leaf collection program. From Monday, November 1st through Saturday, November 27th, up to 30 bags of leaves will be picked up each week, free of charge, in addition to the allowed 10 bags of solid waste. Please place leaves in plastic or paper bags and clearly identify and separate those bags regular trash. Because leaves can be recycled into a useful end product, DPW composts the leaves collected and makes them available to the public free of charge. Free compost from last year's program may now be available at the Southside Landfill, 2577 S. Kentucky Ave, 317.247.6808. As a reminder, it is illegal to burn leaves in Marion County. For further information please call DPW at 317.327.4000 or visit www.indygov.org/dpw. Indy Parks Director Named to National Board of Trustees -- Joseph L.B.
