(La Porte, IN) - Get ready for leaf pick-up in La Porte.  It begins November 2.

La Porte Street Department superintendent Mike Frase said the pick-up will start on Rose Street and move clockwise around the city.  He indicated the first pass around the city should take three to four weeks.

A second pass to collect late falling leaves will also occur.  If winter sets in early, Frase said the pick-up will stop but resume on days when conditions improve.

He said people should place their leaves beside the street.  Any sticks should be out of the leaves in separate piles.
