Fall leaf pick-up for the City of Knox began Monday, October 17.
The City of Knox reminds citizens to place all leaves in front of their residence next to the curb on the street in a long row and not in the alley.
They also remind citizens to not bag leaves, as garbage contractors will not pick up bagged leaves. Remember to keep all trash out of leaf piles so the vacuum can pick up leaves.
Branches and limbs will be picked up each Thursday by the Knox City Street Department.
For those who wish to drop off leaves, grass, garden material, or brush at the city compost pile, please remove leaves and grass from the bags or containers before putting them in the designated area behind City Hall, on the corner of Shield and Mound Streets.
Residents are also reminded of the city policy. The city will not take brush remaining from professional tree removal jobs. This material is the responsibility of the removal company.
Fall leaf pick-up will run every week as long as weather permits.
