(Fairmont) The City of Fairmont’s curbside leaf pickup program is underway for its 20th year. Public Works crews will collect leaves in three sections of the city, starting October 26th through the 30th, followed by November 2nd through the 8th, and November 9th through the 13th. Residents should rake leaves into long rows along the curb, rather than large piles, and avoid parking on the street during pickup. Leaves can also be taken to the city’s yard waste site at 1880 100th Street, where compost is available free of charge. Officials say pickup could be canceled if snow covers the leaves.
