Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The city of Warsaw Public Works Department will begin its annual fall leaf pickup program on Monday, Nov. 2. Leaf collection will continue through the week of Dec. 7- 11, weather permitting.
Residents within the corporate city limits of Warsaw may place leaves at the curb prior to Nov. 2. However, residents should be aware that the city will not have a dedicated leaf pickup route running daily before the Nov. 2 start date. Crews will begin dedicated leaf collection routes on Nov. 2; collection will occur on normal refuse scheduled days.
Residents are asked to follow these guidelines to help city crews efficiently collect leaves and keep the community safe:
• Place leaves at the curb or alley for collection.
• Leaves should be placed out by 7 a.m. on the resident's regular trash collection day.
• Do not mix sticks, branches, trash or other debris with leaves. These materials can damage collection equipment and create safety concerns for city crews.
• Do not rake leaves into the street or gutter. Leaves can clog stormwater catch basins and interfere with drainage.
• Residents are encouraged to keep leaf piles clear of parked vehicles and other obstructions whenever possible.
Collection schedules may vary depending on weather conditions and the volume of leaves throughout the community. Crews will continue working through the designated collection period to service neighborhoods as efficiently as possible.
The final scheduled week of leaf collection will be Dec. 7-11 on residents scheduled refuse day, weather permitting.
Residents with questions regarding the city's leaf pickup program may contact the city of Warsaw Public Works Department at 574-372-9561 during regular business hours.
