The following is a news release from the city of Idaho Falls.
IDAHO FALLS — The city of Idaho Falls leaf collection schedule will begin Monday, Oct. 16.
Due to equipment limitations, leaves should be piled on the street next to the curb, and cars should be parked off the street. Please do not place tree limbs and branches with the leaves. Leaves collected will be made available to the public as mulch in the spring.
In accordance with city ordinance, property owners must keep trees trimmed 15’ above the street surface to allow room for the street sweepers to travel under the trees without damaging the equipment or the trees.
Residents living outside the stated boundaries may contact the Street Division to request leaf collection in their area. The schedule may vary slightly due to workload.
The schedule will repeat, weather and time permitting, as leaves accumulate and conditions warrant.
Residents are encouraged to visit the homepage of the city’s website or call the Street Division at (208) 612-8490 with questions.
