Senior Task Force and Boy Scouts partner to provide leaf raking service for seniors

-

Above / Local Boy Scouts return for second year of program to help seniors who may need assistance with autumn leaves. 

Alert the Boy Scouts if any storm sewer drains are located along the curb. Keep drains free from leaves to prevent flooding.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. — The Senior Task Force has once again partnered with local Boy Scout troops to provide a free leaf raking service to area seniors this fall. Limited opportunities are available, and interested seniors are encouraged to make arrangements as soon as possible if they wish to take advantage of this service.

Work by the Boy Scouts will be timed to coincide with the City’s annual bulk curbside leaf collection dates in October and November. More information on the bulk curbside leaf collection is available at www.naperville.il.us/leafcollection.

Please note that this service is geared towards those seniors who may have mobility issues or other impairments that keep them from accomplishing this type of yard work.

Sign ups begin 11AM-2PM Mon., Oct. 2, by calling (630) 848-3613

If interested, please contact the Senior Help Desk at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center by calling (630) 848-3613 starting Monday, October 2. This is the only way to schedule an appointment. Calls will be answered by a Help Desk volunteer between the hours of 11AM and 2PM. If calling outside of these hours, please leave a message with your name, address and a phone number where you can be reached.

The Scouts will provide all raking equipment necessary, such as rakes and gloves. If a senior wishes to have their leaves bagged versus raked into the street for bulk collection, the senior must provide their own bags.

For more information on the Senior Task Force, visit www.naperville.il.us/seniortaskforce.
