The Leaf Bag Program was implemented to minimize the impact of leaf drop season and runs between October - January. This program helps street sweeping efforts and provides for the collection of yard waste materials like leaves and small branches. Once the bags are filled, they should be put at the curbside next to your yard waste bin on your yard waste pick-up day. Only the bags provided by the City will be serviced as part of this program.

Beginning October 2^nd, bags are provided at no cost to residents while supplies last. They are available for pick up at the following City facilities Monday - Friday:

City Hall – Payment Center: 150 City Park Way, 8:00am – 5:00pm

Community Center: 35 Oak Street, 8:00am – 5:00pm

Corporation Yard - Bldg C: 2201 Elkins Way, 7:00am – 3:30pm

Senior Center: 195 Griffith Lane, M-Th 8:30am – 4:30pm and Fridays 8:30am – 1:30pm

Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are the only 2 holidays during the year that affect garbage service. If your service day is on or after these holidays, and they fall on a Monday through Friday, service will be one day later for that week only. Garbage service is on regular schedule for all other holidays. If one of the above holidays falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, there is no change to your service day. Refer to the Service Guide Calendar for service days.
