COLUMBUS, Ind. – The City of Columbus Department of Public Works has announced that its 2024 Fall Loose Leaf Collection Program begins next month. The effort to help keep the community clean begins October 14 and will tentatively run through the end of December, depending on the timing of the leaf fall.
During the program, residents are encouraged to rake their leaves to the curb for collection on their trash day.
Ensure that leaves are clear of all obstructions like cars and mailboxes, as well as debris such as branches and decorative grass trimmings. This will allow for efficient collection.
If you have sticks or branches, create a separate pile for chipper collection. Do not bag leaves.
