With the change in seasons, leaves are beginning to fall across the area and that means several cities will begin their annual leaf collection.
Hopkinsville Solid Waste Enterprise announced Wednesday crews will begin leaf collection Friday, November 1 and continue through January 31, 2020. As part of the program, officials say leaves are collected by one of two large vacuum trucks that cross each section of the city, making two complete passes through each neighborhood and multiple passes on major thoroughfares.
Solid Waste officials also want to remind residents that residential garbage and trash collection routes will continue unaffected during the leaf collection season, meaning your leaf pick up will not necessarily be the same day you received regular service. However, leaves placed in plastic bags will be collected on your regular trash collection day.
