Recology Tukwila Customer Service 206.944.3900 Tukwila@Recology.com Recology Tukwila website Safety reminders for autumn as we start dealing with falling leaves again On the road: • Wet, slippery leaves make driving hazardous. Slow down when driving on leaves, especially around turns. Leave plenty of emergency stopping room. • If the temperature drops below freezing, the wet leaves will freeze, making driving even more dangerous. • Leaves littering the road can obscure painted lane markings, bumps or potholes, and other road hazards. • Never drive through a raked leaf pile - it's an inviting place for a child (or pet) to burrow, jump or hide. Around your car: • Keep your windshield clear to avoid wet leaves getting stuck under the wiper blades. • Don't park over a pile of dry leaves to avoid a possible fire hazard from the exhaust system or catalytic converter. At your home: • Clean your gutters frequently. Leaf -clogged gutters (and downspouts) can create major damage by sending water into your home or breaking loose due to water weight. • To avoid creating a falling hazard for pedestrians, keep your driveway and walkways clear of fallen leaves. • If you use a leaf blower, dress properly in clothing that covers your skin to prevent injury. Wear appropriate eye protection, gloves and sturdy shoes as well. • Think safety as you perform home chores. Use a sturdy, steady ladder for climbing. Don't overexert when raking or lifting.
