The Evansville Water & Sewer Utility announces the Annual Fall Leaf Pick-up will begin Monday, October 27, and continue through Friday, December 19, for a period of eight (8) weeks. The annual leaf collection service is available to City residents who pay for trash service with their water bill, including newly-annexed areas. Apartment complexes, mobile home communities and business/commercial customers are not eligible.
Leaves must be contained in Bio-Degradable Plastic or Paper Leaf Bags or in containers and must be placed in manageable, organized piles on the same day of trash service but separate from where the normal weekly trash is collected. The bags should be placed at the pickup location before 6 a.m. on the normal days of collection. These bags should only be placed at the pickup location on your normal day of trash collection.
Leaves not in Bio-Degradable Bags that do not meet these requirements will not be picked up. Residence with leaves not in the Bio-Degradable Bags will be notified to re-bag their leaves in Bio-Degradable Bags and they will be picked up the following week. If a customer put their Leaves out according to the requirements but feels they were missed, they can call Republic Services at 812-424-3345 within two (2) days to report a possible missed pick-up.
