Doraville leaf vacuum is fixed

The city of Doraville has fixed its leaf vacuum, which broke down in November.

The vacuum collects unbagged leaf piles free of rocks, branches or waste materials from residential houses and city property. The truck will run throughout the city during the weeks of Feb. 1, Feb. 15 and Feb. 29.

Going forward, this service is scheduled to run from Oct. 1 through the end of February every year.
