🍂 Please remember:
• No plastic bags

La recogida de hojas de otoño en la ciudad de Kankakee comienza el lunes 19 de octubre y se mantiene hasta el viernes 4 de diciembre.

🍂 Por favor recuerde:
• No hay bolsas de plástico
• No se mezclan ramas con hojas
• Sin basura ni materiales extraños mezclados con las hojas.
