萨克拉门托落叶季开跑：街头落叶堆即日起可由抓斗车清运
加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托市宣布，2026年落叶季自11月2日起正式开始：居民庭院垃圾在装满路边回收桶之后，多余部分可以堆放在街道上，由市府的「抓斗车」（the Claw）车队统一清运，落叶最终将被加工成堆肥。
市回收与固体废物处发言人 Jesa David 介绍，抓斗车由一台拖拉机和一辆后装式卡车组成，将在全市100多个社区分区内完成至少七轮完整清运。按市府安排，居民的庭院垃圾桶在落叶季期间将被收集13次，相当于抓斗车每一轮巡回收两轮桶装垃圾，市府提醒居民优先把垃圾桶装满，再考虑往街上堆放。
堆放须遵守尺寸与位置规定：单个落叶堆不得超过4英尺乘4英尺乘9英尺；不得堵住雨水沟与自行车道；堆放时要与停放的车辆保持距离。没有路缘与排水沟的私人街道，以及非市府客户的商业地产，不在抓斗车服务范围内。
市府表示，各分区的清运日程每天都可能调整，居民应在堆放前查阅市府的收集日历或 SacRecycle.org 网站确认本区日期，避免落叶堆长时间滞留街面。

Sacramento Leaf Season Begins: Street Leaf Piles Now Collected by the Claw
The City of Sacramento, California, has announced that the 2026 leaf season officially began on November 2: once residents have filled their curbside yard-waste container, extra leaves and yard trimmings may be piled in the street for collection by the city's "Claw" crews, and the leaves will be processed into compost.
Jesa David, a spokesperson for the city's Recycling and Solid Waste Division, said a Claw crew pairs a tractor with a rear-loading truck and will make at least seven full passes through more than 100 neighborhood zones. Containers are collected 13 times for every seven Claw passes, and the city asks residents to fill their container first before piling material in the street.
Piles must follow size and placement rules: no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet by 9 feet, kept out of storm drains and bike lanes, and placed clear of parked vehicles. Private streets without curb and gutter, and commercial properties that are not city customers, are not eligible for Claw collection.
The city said the collection schedule changes daily, and residents should check the city's Collection Calendar or SacRecycle.org to confirm their zone's dates before putting piles out, so leaves do not sit in the street longer than necessary.
