Get Ready for 2025 Fall Leaf Collection

Temperatures are dropping. And so are the leaves. Help us clear the way for safer, cleaner streets and clean water by keeping leaves out of storm drains.

What do you need to do?
βœ… Rake leaves into long, narrow piles along the curb one day before collection.
🚫 Keep them out of bike and driving lanes.
πŸš— Move parked cars off leaf piles.
🌳 Trim branches to 14 feet above the street.
🍁 Leaves onlyβ€”no sticks, trash, or storm debris!
πŸ’ͺ On your neighborhood collection day, our crews will gather up the leaf piles.

Please note that our crews will NOT be putting out green cones before leaf collection. Once bulk leaf pickup wraps up, our sweepers will follow, and they WILL put out the green parking cones. 

A little raking now means clear, safe streets, and clean water all winter long. Learn more on our website at ci.missoula.mt.us/3069/Leaf-Collection.
