The city of Columbus is starting its fall leaf pickup program today. Leaves will be picked up curbside for residents. That will be on the same day as your normal trash pickup.

The city garage asks that you have the leaves at the curb by 7 a.m. But also do not rake your leaves into the street, as that can clog storm drains causing flooding.

The city does not collect bagged leaves. If you want to bag your leaves, you will need to bring those to the compost site at 720 S. Mapleton next door to the city garage. You will have to dump the bags yourself.

Leaf collection will run through December 15th

If you need any more information you can go to the Department of Public Works link on the city’s website  or call (812) 376-2508.
