City Preparing Curbside Leaf Collection

The City of Salina will be conducting curbside leaf collection from Nov. 6 to Dec. 29, weather permitting.

Participant Guidelines and Information

  • Rake and pile leaves between the curb and sidewalk. If no sidewalk exists, pile leaves directly behind the curb. There will be no collection of leaves in the alleys.
  • 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 crews.
  • You should 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.
