As the vibrant colors of fall blanket Creswell, it’s time to prepare for the annual Leaf Pick-Up Season! From October 1st through December 31st, Creswell Public Works is offering free leaf pick-ups for residents within the city limits. This is a great opportunity to keep our neighborhoods looking tidy while enjoying the beauty of autumn.
How It Works
To participate in the leaf pick-up program, residents are asked to follow a few simple guidelines:
Bag Your Leaves: All leaves must be bagged to ensure an efficient collection process.
Placement: Bags should be placed at the edge of your yard, making them easily accessible for the Public Works team.
Unlimited Pick-Ups: There is no limit to the number of bags that can be picked up, nor is there a cap on how many times residents can request a pick-up throughout the season.
How to Request a Pick-Up
Residents have two convenient options for requesting a leaf pick-up:
By Phone: Call Creswell City Hall at 541-895-2531 to schedule your collection.
Online: Visit the
City
of
Creswell
website
and click the "Submit a Request or Concern" button at the top of the page.
This easy access ensures that keeping your yard clear of leaves is a hassle-free experience.
Why It Matters
Participating in the leaf pick-up program not only enhances the aesthetics of our community but also helps prevent leaves from clogging storm drains, which can lead to flooding and other environmental issues. Plus, it’s a great way to engage with your neighbors and foster a sense of community pride.
What Items are NOT Accepted?
During Leaf Pickup Season, the City of Creswell reminds residents that yard debris, pine or fir needles, and sticks cannot be accepted along with the leaves. This is because all collected leaves are transported to a farm where they are processed into mulch. Unfortunately, items like needles and sticks do not break down as easily and can disrupt the mulching process. To ensure a smooth and effective leaf collection, please adhere to these guidelines and keep our community clean and green!
