City of Owensboro

The Owensboro Sanitation Department will be there for you when it comes to collecting your leaves! 🍂 Crews will make three passes by your home this season to vacuum leaves. Be sure to rake them to the curb - not into the street. When your zone is scheduled, make sure your leaves are ready. Crews won’t be able to pivot for late rake-outs or piles that can’t be accessed. You can also bag your leaves and place them at the curb on your regular trash day, or take them to the orange leaf collection dumpsters behind the Sportscenter parking lot. Click the link in the comments to find your Leaf Zone and sign up for text alerts so you never miss a pickup!
