2025 Annual Fall Leaf Pick-Up

The Annual Fall Leaf Pick-up for the City of Murray will begin on Monday, December 1, 2025,
and will run until complete. Leaf Pick-up will begin in the area South of Main Street and west of
16th Street. Pick-up will progress counter-clockwise through the city. All start dates shown on
sections of the city’s leaf pickup map are approximate. Please have leaves out well in advance.
High traffic “Flagging Roads” will be picked up at the end of the rotation through the city.
The entire City will only be covered once, so please ensure that all the leaves are properly
prepared for pick-up. After all sections of the city have been covered once, residents who missed
the initial pickup may schedule individual service until the 23rd of January, by calling 270-762-
0336.

PLEASE DO NOT RAKE LEAVES INTO THE STREET, MEDIANS, STREET
GUTTERS, SIDEWALKS, OVER WATER METERS, 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 staff.

Residents may dispose of brush through private lawn/yard service or by transporting to the
Transfer Station. Do not place brush in your residential rollout garbage container. The
Sanitation Department will also collect brush by scheduling a “Special Pick-up”.
Residents who place brush within the public right-of-way at any time, except during the
Annual Spring Brush Pick-up or for a scheduled Sanitation Department Special Pick-up, are
subject to fines and penalties under the Property Maintenance Codes and/or Health and
Sanitation Ordinances.

Please contact the Sanitation Department at 270-762-0380 for Transfer Station requirements
regarding Special Pickup Service for brush.

Leaves should be raked two to three feet from the back of the curb or edge of roadway where
possible. Again, please do not rake your leaves into the street, median, sidewalk or into
drainage areas. Residents who place their leaves in the street or on the sidewalk create serious
public safety issues. The resident, who places their leaves in the street or on the sidewalk, is subject
to fines and penalties under the City’s Ordinances and will be responsible for any accidents they
might cause. Residents who place their leaves in drainage areas may be responsible for any
flooding issues the leaves created.

Bagged leaves must be dropped off at the bagged leaf collection point on Andrus Drive and will
not be picked up on the street. Only bagged leaves will be accepted at the leaf collection point.
This is a free service for city residents only, the individual must be able to provide proof of City
residency. Lawn and yard service companies will need to dispose of leaves they collect at their
own expense.

After the Christmas holidays, Christmas trees will be accepted at the leaf collection point for
disposal.

The bagged leaf collection point will be open from November 24, 2025 through January 23,
2026. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 3:00 pm and Saturdays
from 8:00 am until Noon.
