The City of Independence has announced that city crews will be coming through all neighborhoods for leaf pick up this fall

 

The city has giant leaf vacuums that can easily pick up leaves, but to ensure it functions properly and efficiently, the city would like residents to follow a few important procedures to make things run smoothly.

 

Put your leaves by the curb or street but not in the street. Do not place your leaves in the alley and do not put brush, weeds, rocks, or bricks in your leaf pile. If extra debris is noticed in a leaf pile, it will not be picked up. If you have an urgent need for leaf pickup before or after your pick-up date, please bag your leaves and set the bags out for the Sanitation Department.

 

Pickup dates may vary due to weather conditions or equipment breakdowns.
