Not 100% accurate. They aren't doing free curbside vacuuming like they did the past several years. That's what you can pay $30 for if you want to request it. Otherwise, they will take bagged leaves. They also did come through with leaf blowers and a vacuum truck prior to the street cleaning truck, so if you know it's coming you could use that to your benefit.

Not sure what’s inaccurate… the city no longer provides the mass leaf removal service it once did (it wasn’t free - it funded via the city’s revenue, ie taxes) and now leaves it up to property owners to clear themselves, pay someone to do it for them, or just leave them in the street for the next scheduled street cleaning - which may be 6+ months away. The city picking up bagged leaves doesn’t count for much, if anything
