City of Mount Pleasant issued the following announcement on Nov. 18.
When Fall and Winter collide we, as a community, are faced with the challenge of collecting leaves while also clearing the streets and sidewalks of snow. Below is an update on the leaf collection schedule, as well as sidewalk snow plowing.
Leaf Collection
Leaf collection will take place throughout the City during the week of November 18.
Due to the winter weather conditions, the leaf collection originally scheduled for November 25-27 has been cancelled. A Spring collection will be announced at a later date.
Please do not place any additional leaves out on the street. Leaves left out in the street will be the responsibility of the homeowner and subject to code enforcement.
Remaining leaves may be bagged and disposed, for a fee, at the Material Recovery Facility located at 4208 E. River Road, Mt. Pleasant.
Sidewalk Snowplowing Update
We realize improvements to our sidewalk snowplowing process are necessary. As many of you are aware, sod was damaged by City staff during the recent clearing of some residential sidewalks, this was primarily due to new equipment being used. Adjustments to the new plow blades are being completed to rectify this problem. In the Spring, City staff will repair the damage caused by the sidewalk plow by putting down new black dirt and grass seed.
We understand the frustration and appreciate your patience as we make adjustments to our equipment and the snow clearing process. If you have questions you may contact the Division of Public Works at (989) 779-5401.
