Info on Logansport Street Department’s loose leaf pickup for Fall 2021
Last Updated on March 8, 2023 by Logansport Street Department
UPDATE as of Dec. 3, 2021: The last day that the Logansport Street Department will have the leaf vacs out for the season will be Friday, Dec. 10. After that date, please place leaves in paper lawn and leaf bags by your trash receptacle.
ORIGINAL POST from Oct. 3, 2021:
The 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 west and north.
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. Brush pickup will resume following leaf season, weather permitting.
Thank you for your cooperation.
