10. Why don't we have curbside leaf vacuuming?

The City does not provide curbside leaf vacuuming services due to the cost of the equipment, the lack of available space to compost leaves, and the need for additional staff to perform the composting operation. Some municipalities dedicate much or all of their public works staff to leaf collection for months and our staff has many other responsibilities.
