Fall Leaf Fest 2018

Is that beautiful time of year again here in Coeur d’Alene… Fall!

With Fall comes all of the beautiful and colorful leaves that we love and enjoy for about the first 2 weeks. After they have fallen off the trees, the fun begins with leaves all over our yards and driveways. We then being the clean up as we ready our yards for winter. The raking of those beautiful leaves into piles and then scooping them into bags to take to the landfill to throw way.

DON’t BOTHER with that this year! Spend more time inside this year enjoying your hot cocoa and cozy PJ’s! Our City of Coeur d’Alene is not only beautiful but they are also awesome! One of the benefits of living is Coeur d’Alene and our Leaf Pick Up program and its absolutely FREE for you!

Some things to keep in mind:

Do:

You may start putting your leaves out Friday November 2nd.
Please move cars out of the street if at all possible during leaf pick-up.
Keep the leaves about one foot off the curb line to facilitate storm water flow.
Be alert for leaf pick-up equipment traveling through your neighborhood.
Keep a safe distance away from leaf pick-up heavy equipment.
Recognize that we have a tough job to do in a very short window between when the leaves fall and when the snow flies.
Understand that city and private trucks are exempted from covering loads during the leaf pick-up period. Sweepers will follow city trucks to collect remaining/excess leaves.

Don’t:

Place bagged leaves in street.
Mix branches, rubble or other refuse in with the leaves.
Miss the deadline… we only have time for one pass!
