City of Mt. Pulaski 2026 Leaf
Collection Program
[October 20, 2026]
The City of Mt. Pulaski Leaf
Collection Program has been scheduled. The program will run from
approximately October 21, 2026 to December 1, 2026 depending upon
weather and demand. We will be utilizing our Leaf Vacuum to assist
our residents with the disposal of leaves. To help make this program
a success, we ask our residents to please follow the guidelines
below:
1.) The Leaf Vacuum is designed for leaf removal ONLY. Do not place
grass, sticks, limbs, or other debris in the leaf pile. These
foreign materials may cause damage to the machine and possible
injury to City Personnel. Foreign material will cause us to bypass
all of your leaves!
2.) Placement of the leaves is a key element to the success of the
program. Place the leaves in a row so that they are located within 4
feet of the edge of the pavement.
3.) Keep the leaf piles no higher than 3 feet, for safety and
visibility.
4.) Leaves should be placed and ready for pickup by 7:30 AM, Monday.
We intend to collect leaves on every Monday at a minimum. Other days
may be added as the work load dictates.
5.) Rake the leaves to the back of the curb, on the grass area. If
cars are continuously parked in front of your residence, please
place the leaves at the edge of your driveway.
6.) DO NOT place leaves in a rocked or gravel area.
7.) DO NOT place leaves in the road ditches or in the street.

8.) We can pick up leaves
that are either dry or wet. If you have problems with the leaves
blowing, you can wet them down. Another option is to cover the
leaves with a tarp.
9.) DO NOT place leaves in an area where you have previously had
a fire. We will not vacuum leaves from this area, because of the
potential of smoldering material becoming ignited inside of the
Leaf Vacuum.
Leaves may also be burned in accordance with the City
Ordinances. Copies of the ordinance may be obtained by
contacting City Hall.
Leaves may also be mulched by utilizing a mulching blade on your
lawn mower.
Should you have any questions or concerns about this Leaf
Collection Program, please call City Hall at 792-3222.
