LANDSCAPE PICKUP GUIDELINES AND NOTICE OF SEASONAL LEAF COLLECTION

As we move into the Fall, The City of Carbondale is reminding residents of our Landscape Pickup Guidelines and Seasonal Leaf Collection Program. Please look over the following Landscape Pickup Guidelines and Notice of Seasonal Leaf Collection to see how to properly dispose of landscape waste and leaves.

Special Waste Collection program expenses are recovered through a customer purchase of Special Waste Collection stickers that may be purchased at various grocery and hardware stores throughout the City and at City Hall. Collection is authorized when the appropriate number of stickers are affixed to the collected items. Sticker costs are currently $1 each. The numbers of Special Waste stickers required are:

Landscape waste collection is one (1) per bag or bundle.

White goods collection is ten (10) for each non-refrigerated appliance and twenty (20) for each

refrigerator, freezer, or air-conditioner.

Automobile tire collection is four (4) for a tire off-the-rim and six (6) for a tire on-the-rim.

Carbondale’s Special Seasonal Leaf Collection Program will be offered during November, December, and the first half of January.

Calls for this special service will be accepted from November 1, 2024, through January 31, 2025. Before calling the Maintenance and Environmental Services Office for pickup, residents desiring special service should rake their leaves to the edge of the street or curb. Please do not block sidewalks or streets, or rake leaves into the ditches or gutters.

During this Special Seasonal Leaf Collection Program period, the fee is $25 for each collection. The regular fee for this service outside the special service period remains at $35.

Please call (618) 457-3275 between 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday to schedule this service; be sure to leave both your name & address and identify your request as “loose leaf collection.”

The regular Landscape Waste Bag and Bundle program will continue as usual during this Special Collection Period. Those desiring a collection of bagged leaves and grass or bundles of brush may continue to call (618) 457-3275, leave your name and address, and identify your request as “bag and bundle” landscape waste.
