The final round of leaf collection will begin on Monday, Dec. 16, in Bowling Green. Residents who receive city-provided refuse/recycling service are eligible for the leaf pick-up.
The City of Bowling Green leaf pickup crew will begin working in Ward 3. When pickup in Ward 3 is completed, the crew will then move through Ward 4, Ward 1 and Ward 2.
Pickup is by ward not by rubbish collection districts.
This will be the final leaf collection for 2019. Once the crews leave a street, they will not return. Bowling Green residents may also take leaves to the drop-off site located behind the Public Works garage on Tarragon Drive (off East Poe Road). Note that brush and branches are not accepted at the drop-off site.
Residents may also want to consider using a recycling mower to return shredded leaves to their yards. Grass clippings and finely chopped leaves add vital nutrients and organic matter to the lawn, thus improving lawn health.
