City of Salina

Don't forget: the City of Salina is scheduled to begin its annual curbside leaf collection on Monday.

General Services staff will be conducting curbside leaf collection from Monday to Dec. 30, weather permitting.

Folling is the collection schedule as provided by the City of Salina.

Leaf collection participant guidelines and information

To help staff collect all the leaves set out by the public this season, included below are the participant guidelines as provided by General Services.

●Rake and pile leaves between the curb and sidewalk. If no sidewalk exists, pile leaves directly behind the curb. Staff will not be picking up bags nor collecting leaves in the alleys, on private streets, or commercial properties.

●Leaf piles will not be collected if mixed with other debris. Tree limbs and branches will not be collected.

●Don’t rake or blow leaves into the street as this can be a hazard to traffic and is a violation of City Code. Additionally, placing leaves in the street may cause problems for our storm drainage systems.

●Don’t park vehicles directly in front of or behind leaf piles, as this makes collection more difficult for our crew.

●Have your leaves ready for collection on the first day of the schedule for your respective zone.

●There will only be one round of curbside leaf collection in each zone; however, customers may call in to report locations if they feel they may have been missed by the leaf collection crew or when weather conditions or late leaf deposits require additional collection.
