PUBLIC NOTICE for the CITY OF WEST LIBERTY

Fall Leaf Collection

The City of West Liberty begins its fall leaf pickup the week of Oct. 13 and will continue until Nov. 30, or the first snowfall of the season. The city is no longer collecting brush and yard waste for the remainder of 2021.

Please remember the following:

-Leaves should be placed at the curb, NOT in the street, for leaf machine pickup.

–DO NOT mix yard waste with the leaves. Yard waste material plugs the tube to the leaf machine causing equipment breakdowns.

-Grass clippings may be put with the leaves.

-No scheduled days will be set – pickup will be done on a random basis as the weather permits and there are no equipment breakdowns. Leaf pickup will end on Nov. 30 or the first snowfall.
