Salina Post
Starting next year, the City of Salina General Services staff members will be conducting a courtesy curbside leaf pickup.
According to the City, from January 5th to February 27th, 2026, (weather permitting). The City will collect all leaves set out by the public this season.
It is important to note, the City will NOT pick up any leaves that are places in alleys, private streets, commercial properties and any leaves that are mixed in with debris.
Tree limbs and branches will NOT collected either.
Here is a list of the participant guidelines the community is encouraged to do:
- 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.
