PUNXSUTAWNEY – Don’t count on a fast pick-up for your leaves this fall.
The borough’s leaf collection machine, which has been the work horse in the borough’s annual leaf collection, has been out of service since the first day of collection, said Roger Steele, chairman of the Public Works Committee, at Tuesday’s meeting.
Steele said Public Works crews have been utilizing the borough’s street sweeper as the only viable piece of equipment that can be used for leaf collection.
