As the fall season is upon us, leaves will start to scatter across yards all over town. Knox residents who are unable to tend to their lawns due to advanced age or physical disability are able to submit a request for assistance to the Mayor’s Office.
Mayor Dennis Estok announced the start of the call out for the fall leaf pick-up program at the Knox City Council meeting earlier this week. He informed council members that the Mayor’s Office works in conjunction with the SCILL Center to get the leaves raked. The program is carried out on a first come, first serve basis and they’re able to attend to up to 15 properties.
Mayor Estok encouraged people to call in as soon as possible to arrange to have their leaves raked. The deadline to submit requests is November 10th. Interested individuals can reach the Mayor’s Office by calling 574-772-4553. The mayor will contact those that submit requests at a later date to inform them of the specific start date.
