Summary
The city collects leaves curbside and takes brush at its drop-off, then hires a contractor to grind it all into compost for residents. This year only one company bid — Urben Forest Services — and the price per hour went up about $10, but the total should be similar to last year's $11,000. The material is stockpiled at airport land on Greenbush Road and ground once each fall instead of twice, which mixes leaves with brush for better compost.

Impact analysis
Expected to cost around $11,000, similar to last year, thanks to fewer incidental charges.
Residents who rake leaves to the curb or use the yard waste drop-off get the material ground into usable compost.
