OCT 18, 25.. AUTUMN LEAVES IN ANCHORAGE..

It's now Autumn 2025 up here in Anchorage. 

Autumn everywhere is so beautiful.

Soon (early November) Patti and I will "fly away to Arizona" to spend winter there.

Before we two "fly away" we wanted to show you our local landscape contractor's annual project of clearing up and removing our Autumn Leaves.

Taa Daa..

Here we go!

Leaves? Did we say Leaves? We most certainly have leaves after our local trees have finished "shedding their green summer leaves".

Step One for our local landscaping contractor, is to move the leaves into several collection areas.

Yes Oh Yes Indeed. It is a "very loud project"!

Now the leaves have been gathered into several smaller collections.

Now the process of gathering the leaves up and removing them from our Green Strip begins. 

This is "quite a process".

Now they move the leaves onto the flat, open, tarpaulin.

Now they are taking this load of leaves out to the front of our building.

At the front of our building, a special truck awaits the loads of leaves.

Whewie! As you can see, this is some job!

Last year Gullible asked us:

I wonder what happens to the leaves after they leave your area?

It depends 100% upon who owns the truck. The Municipality of Anchorage (MofA) or a private contractor hired by the MofA.

The MofA work crews dispose of them in various city owned dump sites, from ordinary sanitary land fill areas to other city owned dumps.

The private contractors are free to dispose of the leaves as they wish provided they do not break MofA Ordinances governing dumps.

Due to MofA Ordinances, the leaves are not used for mulch because of the odor that would arise therefrom.

The job is now finished for another year!
