Spring Leaf Pickup This Week in Knox

Spring leaf pickup is this week in the City of Knox.

The Street Department will start their pick up routes today and run through Friday, April 7. Leaf pickup is planned again for May 1 to May 5.

Leaves should be placed in a long row next to the curb along the street, not in the alley. Residents are asked not to bag the leaves and to keep any trash out of the leaf piles. The Knox Street Department will pick up branches and limbs each Thursday, but the city won’t take brush from professional tree removal jobs.

Those using the city compost pile at the corner of Shield and Mound Streets are asked to remove the leaves and grass from bags or containers.
