The seasonal shuffle of duties is underway for Hilliard's Public Service Department, as leaf collection wraps up and snow removal gear takes center stage. Announced via social media, the city's teams are busy transitioning from fall to winter operations. The department is currently tending to its fleet, swapping out leaf collection attachments for snowplows and salt spreaders in anticipation of the continued winter weather.
Although the bulk of leaf collection is complete, residents who find themselves still knee-deep in foliage aren't left out in the cold. The City of Hilliard, Ohio - Government, assured that "Local Waste Services will continue to pick up leaves curbside in biodegradable bags during Tuesday pickup." This gives Hilliard homeowners an extended chance to keep their yards leaf-free, even as the city's focus shifts to dealing with the snow and ice that winter tends to bring.
The transition is a familiar one for the Public Service Department, but for new or unacquainted residents, understanding how to dispose of yard waste properly is key. The city's emphasis on using biodegradable bags is part of a larger environmental effort to ensure that yard waste is broken down naturally, as opposed to using plastic bags that can cause harm to the environment.
