KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The early arrival of winter has brought the City of Kalamazoo’s leaf pickup program to a screeching halt.
Public Services Director Jim Baker says the crews had to be reassigned to plowing snow, which involves a lot more than an e-mail.
He says they are committed to getting back to the leaf cleanup soon, once city streets are cleared.
He says they have contracted with a private firm to expedite the effort.
Baker says the city’s schedule for pickups will be pushed back about a week, but it may have to be changed again if there is another heavy snowfall before Christmas.
