The City of Independence will begin the annual process of courtesy neighborhood leaf pickup. The city will start this Tuesday and the crews will run through mid-Feburary, contingent upon weather and equipment. The city has been mapped into 15 zones. Crews will start Tuesday with zone 1, which is the southwest corner of the town, and will go in numerical order. A color-coded map of the leaf pickup zones can be viewed on the City’s website by clicking here.
