WARSAW — It’s that time of year — Warsaw has announced plans for its fall leaf pickup schedule.
The dedicated leaf pickup program is set to begin Monday, Nov. 2 and will conclude Dec. 11, weather permitting.
The weekly leaf pickup with coincide with resident’s regular garbage collection day.
Residents within the corporate city limits of Warsaw may place leaves at the curb prior to November 2. However, residents should be aware that the City will not have a dedicated leaf pickup route running daily before the No. 2 start date.
Residents are asked to follow these guidelines to help City crews efficiently collect leaves and keep the community safe:
• Place leaves at the curb or alley for collection.
• Leaves should be placed out by 7:00 a.m. on the resident's regular trash collection day.
• Do not mix sticks, branches, trash, or other debris with leaves. These materials can damage collection
equipment and create safety concerns for City crews.
• Do not rake leaves into the street or gutter. Leaves can clog stormwater catch basins and interfere with
drainage.
• Residents are encouraged to keep leaf piles clear of parked vehicles and other obstructions whenever
possible.
Collection schedules may vary depending on weather conditions and the volume of leaves throughout the community. Crews will continue working through the designated collection period to service neighborhoods as efficiently as possible.
Residents with questions regarding the leaf pickup program can contact the City of Warsaw Public Works Department at 574-372-9561 during regular business hours.
