Drowning in leaves?
Leaf disposal is on in Gabriel Park - since all MY leaves have certainly come down (and I'm glad I cut my grass yesterday, too) - I am certainly overflowing in lawn debris. This is a problem since I can never remember when lawn debris day IS anymore, now that it no longer coincides with my payday schedule. However - the leaf disposal takes over the parking lot off of Vermont, just below the kids play area in the park. Here's the schedule. I know this doesn't include times - it's like 8AM to 4PM, but Portland Transportation's website is down right now and I don't remember the schedule from when I drove by yesterday. I'll update this tonight.
Sunday, October 30
Sunday, November 6
Saturday, November 12
Saturday, November 19
The cost will be: $1 per car load, $4 per truck, SUV or trailer load, $5 per truck and trailer, $30 per commercial load (5 yd. maximum – larger loads will be referred to commercial recycle centers). There will be a $1 discount for senior citizens. Leaves collected become part of the city’s recycling eff ort and are turned into compost. For more information, call the leafline at 503-823-1784 or Portland Transportation dot org
From my experience last year. They will take all your leaves, but they will not take your lawn debris bags - so if you have leaves and stuff in bags - you'll have to empty out the bags when you get to the leaf drop, and then schlep your empty bags home with you.
