When are leaves picked up?

The City of St Joseph provides curbside leaf removal for its residents in the Spring and Fall.  Residents may place leaves in the street gutter avoiding placement on or near the drains.  Please do not place bags of leaves, branches, twigs, grass clippings, rocks or other debris in the leaf piles.

If you prefer to bag your leaves in yard waste bags, you may purchase Best Way stickers at City Hall. Stickers are placed on bags and set out on your trash pick-up day during the annual yard waste dates of April - November. 

Please note that residents who live on Niles Ave, Main St or Lakeshore Dr should bag their leaves in bio-degradable craft paper yard waste bags. Please contact Public Works for leaf pick-up at 269-983-6341. 

The Public Works staff will make multiple passes through the city for leaf removal.
