CLAREMONT — The Fall Clean-Up program for the City of Claremont will operate for one week beginning Monday, Nov. 5 through Friday, Nov. 9.
Leaves and grass rakings must be placed in compostable paper bags and left at the curbside by 7 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 5. There will be no callbacks.
Leaves in plastic bags will not be picked up nor will garbage, brush or household items be collected.
After Nov. 9, Claremont citizens may bring leaves bagged in compostable biodegradable bags to the Transfer Station on Tuesdays and Saturdays at no cost.
Per City Council policy adopted on May 12, 2004, the Public Works Department will no longer accept or pick up leaves that are not in paper, biodegradable bags. Paper Compostable (30) gallon bags are available at various local hardware, grocery and department stores.
