    SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20

    12 to 5 PM

    The County does not vacuum leaves. It is the

    homeowners responsibility to clear debris and

    leaves from your property, sidewalks and curbs.

    Local yard maintenance companies do offer

    vacuum service for a fee

    orbag your leaves and they will be

    picked up on Wednesdays by the County

    for FREE.

    Be a good neighbor. Wet, decaying leaves are

    unsightly and dangerous to walkers, cyclists and drivers.

    As Fall approaches lets all do our best to keep Montpelier

    safe and beautiful . . .
