To all you residents who throw sticks and rocks and anything other than leaves into these leaf piles please please stop.. I know it seems like it can suck it up but damages the vacuum and clogs it.. its just not meant for it..

[@george8873]

They didn't have these vacuum trucks when I was a kid. Everyone in town would just burn their leaves, usually all around the same time. Literally couldn't go outside and play when they were burning because there was so much smoke in town you could suffer from smoke inhalation. So glad municipalities have pretty much banned burning leaves these days in my area.

Gardeners Dream😊

[@tbirdracefan]

Interesting. Not done like that anywhere around here. They do have a special day every other week that they pick up limbs and yard waste. Personally, I just run the mower without the bag and chop them up.

[@KASIH3103]

I liked the operator. He was very thorough with vacuuming up the leaves. When does leaf season end. Does the city post anything that let's the people know that their street is scheduled to be cleaned?

[@northernvirginiagarbagetrucks]

Thanks! The county does 2 vacuum passes, one in mid-late November and the other in early-mid December. They put up schedules online and post a few signs around each neighborhood about a week in advance of each pickup.

What does a truck with a vacuum like that cost?

[@northernvirginiagarbagetrucks]

Not sure, probably over 6 figures - these ones are top notch

[@jorgemartinez1598]

why not do it in one pass?

[@brianstratton8767]

Yeah, left a big pile right @ 1st corner, no cars blocking, I dunno neither. They do this in my current area; sure bests bagging; had enough of that!

[@northernvirginiagarbagetrucks]

This is the way the county has been doing things for decades, and like Brian said, the only other option would be bagging it all, which would be a nightmare. Pretty much every municipality that has vacuum collection does it this way too, and there are no trucks out there that I know of that have two vacuums, one for each side of the street. That pile Brian is talking about was left on purpose, because it was mostly brush (not accepted in the leaf truck) and not leaves. They had already come down the other side of that street.

[@TacoStacks]

Alright youtube I clicked on it

Instead of a rake why not use a blower.

[@maoelanaronny]

Massive vacum , kalau di sini daun kering pasti langsung di bakar

[@Peter-pv8xx]

Why is watching leaves being sucked up or snow being blown so cathartic, any phesaciatrests out there that can answer this question? That's the way Ricky Ricardo produced psychiatrist.

[@danbrit9848]

it needs googly eyes

[@stuartsims9115]

Something is wrong when the driver knowingly sees a pile of leaves and passes it up. What kind of business is being run. Where's a supervisor???

[@northernvirginiagarbagetrucks]

The joke's on you - that driver is the supervisor for this area :) Also some leaf piles are contaminated with other yard trimmings that are not allowed in the leaf truck, so those piles will be skipped.

[@terrionleak9581]

Un in

[@melaniekeen3611]

Never rake the leaves in the street. Clogs up the sewer drains

[@northernvirginiagarbagetrucks]

The county does say to rake them into the street, but advises to pile them away from drains.

[@miamibeachvf]

I see these videos of these big piles of leaves and people who bag them up and pay the trash company to take them away I don't understand why they're not turning into valuable mulch and spread it in their yard

[@northernvirginiagarbagetrucks]

I can’t speak for other areas, but Arlington does turn these leaves directly into mulch, which is then available for county residents to use.
