The leaves are falling early this year, so the Department of Public works has scheduled pick-up to begin in October. Leaf pick-up will start on Tuesday, October 17, and run weekly Tuesday through Thursday, ending December 14.
The route will be as follows:
- Main St., S. East St., North St.
- South of Main St.
- North of Main St.
- West of Bean Creek
Please follow these guidelines for leaf collection:
- Bagging of leaves is strongly discouraged.
- Leaves should be placed next to the curb, but not in the street.
- Leaves should be placed as close to the street curb as possible without interfering with traffic patterns.
- Leaves should be free of chunks of wood and foreign objects. If such are found in leaf piles, leaves will be left with the homeowner responsible for disposing them.
Brush pick-up continues every second and fourth Tuesday through October 24. Please keep brush and leaf piles separate. Residents may discard leaves and brush any time at the compost pile behind the Morenci Department of Public Works Facility located at 597 W. Chestnut St.
