Leaf collection begins later this month in the City of Batesville

BATESVILLE, IN — The Batesville Street Department will begin the process of curbside collection of leaves on October 25 and will conclude in December. On average, it takes between two to four weeks to make a complete circuit of the city.

Residents are advised to assist by following these simple guidelines to ensure a successful leaf collection program:

• Place leaves as close to the edge of the street as possible without placing leaves in the street.
• Be sure that leaves are free of any other debris and cars are not blocking the path of the leaf machine.
• All loose leaves are picked up on the street side only.
• No loose leaves are collected in alleyways.

Please note that these services are only provided to residents within the City of Batesville. Collection schedules will only be interrupted in the event of severe weather.

Please visit the city’s website batesvilleindiana.us/departments/street-department/leaf-limb/ for more information on leaf and limb collection.
