  honestly, for that amount of leaves, can you just sweep them up and into your green bin?

  Ben, I don't live nearby, and there are no nearby neighbors, so no, I can't put it into my green bin. It's a route that I ride through regularly on my bike. The pile of leaves was even larger yesterday, forcing me out into the lane to avoid it. Somehow it makes no sense to me that a clear roadway is now piled with debris after the sweeper goes through. That would seem to defeat the purpose of sweeping at all. Why waste time & money sweeping if the roadway is more littered after the fact?

  sorry I didn't understand your situation ... I was thinking more like adopt-a-drain ... the stuff you probably do take care of right in front of your own home. safe riding!

  Dear Sir or Madam,

  Thank you for contacting the Department of Public Works, the public works department's street sweeping vehicles are not designed to sweep up leaves. If you have further question please contact street sweeping supervisor Jeffrey Van Eck at (510) 434-5104. If you would like to become a volunteer to help keep Oakland clean, please contact Michael Perlmutter at (510) 238-7294. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you
