DECEMBER LEAF COLLECTION 2020 ENDING

The City of Valley Park Public Works Department will be finishing its December curbside leaf collection.  Ward 1 will continue to be picked up this week.

Bagged leaves will remain to be picked up on Wednesdays.  

For the safety of the workers and equipment, sticks, plants, root balls, metal objects, bricks, logs, animal waste must be kept out of the pile. Piles of leaves with such debris will NOT be collected to avoid injuries and equipment damage which will cause delays. Please do not block fire hydrants, storm drains, or mailboxes with your leaf pile.

Bagged material or co-mingled material and pine needles will not be picked up. Please pile loose leaves in an open area next to the curb away from trees, posts and mailboxes to assist in speedy collection and to minimize damage to equipment.

Residents are reminded that raking leaves into the street increases pollution of storm water and may cause flooding by blocking drainage structures. Most importantly, piles of leaves in the street are a dangerous attraction to young children.
