The annual fall leaf pickup for the City of Murray will run from Monday, November 15, 2010, until completed. The first area to be picked up will be the north side of Main Street to the north city limits, working east to west. The second area to be picked up will be the south side of Main Street to the south city limits, working west to east. The entire City will be covered to insure that all leaves properly prepared by residents are picked-up.

PLEASE DO NOT RAKE LEAVES INTO THE STREET, STREET GUTTERS, OVER WATER METERS, INTO DRAINAGE DITCHES OR MIX WITH BRUSH PILES.

Leaves combined with brush piles WILL NOT be picked up as this poses a serious safety risk to our workers. Residents who have brush will need two different piles for their leaves and brush. Please contact the Sanitation Department at 762-0380 for pick-up of any brush.

Leaves should be raked two to three feet from the curb, but not over or on any sidewalks.

Bagged leaves should be dropped off at the bagged leaf collection point on Andrus Drive. Only bagged leaves will be accepted. This is a service for city residents only, either the vehicle must display a City Sticker or the individual must be able to provide proof of City residency. The bagged leaf collection point will be open from November 8th, 2010 through January 15th, 2010. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 3:00 pm and Saturdays from 8:00 am until Noon.
