Logansport Street Department announces guidelines for 2019 Leaf Pickup

Last Updated on November 28, 2019 by cassnetwork

The Logansport Street Department plans to begin loose leaf pick-up the first week of November.

Two leaf vac crews will start on High Street and North Street and work their way east. One leaf vac crew will start on the south side and work their way north and west.

The Street Department is asking for the cooperation of Logansport residents when raking leaves. If you choose to rake leaves into piles for the leaf vac to pick up, the City of Logansport asks that you follow these guidelines:

• Do not rake or blow leaves into the street

• Do not rake leaves onto the catch basins (curb drains).

• Loose leaves should be placed as close to the street as possible, but not in the street.

• Loose leaves will NOT be picked up in the alleys.

• Please do not mix limbs or trash with loose leaves because that could cause damage to the vacs and sweeper which will create delays in the leaf pick up process.

• Please do not place leaves in PLASTIC bags; plastic bags will not be picked up by the Street Department.

Those who prefer to bag their leaves may do so as long as they are placed in biodegradable yard waste bags and placed at your trash pickup site for pickup on your normal trash pickup day.

As a rule, brush piles WILL NOT be picked up during leaf season.

The City will also suspend the Litter Critter Program beginning on October 21 through the end of leaf season.
