The Hopkinsville Solid Waste Enterprise has announced the city’s annual leaf collection will begin next Tuesday, November 1 and continue through January 31.
Through the program, leaves are collected by one of two large vacuum trucks that cross each section of the city. They make two complete passes through each neighborhood and multiple passes on major streets.
The City reminds the public that residential garbage and trash collection routes will be unaffected during leaf collection season.
They ask residents to place leaves curbside and not obstruct drainage ditches or drainage gates. Sidewalks and meter covers should also not be covered by leaf piles.
The City asks residents not to mix leaves with trash, pumpkins, limbs, sticks, rocks, and bricks. Leaves containing these materials may be bypassed in order to prevent equipment damage and collection delays.
