We will start blowing, collecting, sweeping, clearing and composting leaves again.

Leaf Collectors

Starting next week, week 42, we will again place leaf baskets in fixed locations around the village. You can lend a hand in clearing up leaves that fall in the public area. We placed 70 leaf boxes in places where many leaves fall. 

Only leaves in the baskets!

The baskets are emptied with a suction system. The suction installation can only suck up leaves and not branches, for example.
In order to prevent damage to the machine, you may only deposit leaves in these baskets, not plants, prunings or branches. If a leaf basket is misused, we will remove it. 

Leaf Compost

We are also storing the leaves collected in the baskets this year to create leaf compost. In the spring, we use the leaf compost for the green spaces and borders.
 

Leaf blowers

Not all streets have leaf baskets, but we will be removing leaves in all streets.
Weather permitting and when the leaves are dry, contractor Lux Cernit will start using leaf blowers from Oct. 28, 2024 to remove leaves from the streets neighborhood by neighborhood.
In most places, we will blow leaves to the center of the streets, then vacuum them up. In places where it is possible, we blow the leaves back into the green spaces. The leaves provide direct nutrition for the green spaces
