City crews begin leaf pickup activities on Monday, November 4th

Town of Stevensville crews are starting leaf pickup activities on City streets on Monday, Nov. 4, with work beginning in the areas north of 4th Street and west of Pine Street.

Leaf pickup is scheduled to continue throughout the week.  The crews will begin on Stevensville's North Side, then moving south to the Smith and Dayton Neighborhoods, and finishing Twin Creeks and Creekside Neighborhoods. Streets cleared of leaves provide safer driving conditions during winter snow and ice. Removing leaves from the streets also helps prevent clogged storm drains.

The Town’s leaf pickup service is intended to remove leaves that fall from city-owned tree's, as well as assist residents with removing natural and organic debris from their properties. Residents must rake leaves into the street and place larger debris on the curb. CREWS WILL NOT ENTER YARDS.

A detailed neighborhood leaf & debris pickup schedule is available at on the Town’s web site at www.townofstevensville.com/streets. The need for snow removal can delay this schedule.

Being aware of the leaf pickup schedule is helpful because the Town is asking residents to move their vehicles from the streets when leaf pickup crews are expected. Crews will work on leaf pickup Monday through Friday, with activities planned between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Residents do have options for getting rid of the leaves in their yards if they miss their pick-up day.

Victor Transfer and Missoula Compost will both take debris and leaves. Residents are reminded that refuse burning within City Limits is closed until March 1st.
