ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Leaves should be placed in the street (not yard) and may placed slightly away from the curb to allow for storm water drainage and ease in leaf collection efforts.
- Leaves placed in the street prior to the specified date will be subject to a fine.
- It should be noted that any brush, sod, bricks, rocks, trash or other foreign materials will damage machinery, hamper our ability to perform our pickup, and lead to a visit from the Code Enforcement Officer with a possible citation.
- Please do not place leaves in terrace areas as city equipment cannot pick them up.
The Department of Public Services offers a compost drop off area located at 1015 S. Lincoln Avenue. We accept brush, leaves, grass clippings and garden waste at the compost area. The compost area is open 24/7 for City residents. If you have any questions, please call the Department of Public Services at 273-1845.
