BRACK: Norcross, Buford homeowners benefit from leaf vacuuming

By Elliott Brack  |  Norcross and Buford residents enjoy a special “Cadillac service” three months out of the year. These two cities send around a truck to vacuum up leaves raked to the curb.  No other Gwinnett homeowners enjoy such a service. The different county waste haulers require homeowners in other areas to bag their leaves before pick up.
