The Michigan City Street Department will begin fall leaf pickup on Monday, October 25, 2010. If residents would like weekly pickups of their leaves, they may use compost containers or compost/yard waste bags (no plastic bags)available from area merchants. These will be picked up, in the front, by the Refuse Department with regular compost until the week ending November 19, 2010. Leaves will be picked up by request only prior to Monday, October 25, 2010. If citizens have branches that need picked up please call in your requests to the Central Service Department at 873-1500.

NOTE* Leaves will not be picked up in the alleys.

Said we were supposed to be picked up by yesterday - working Saturday to get caught up. Mine and my neighbor's leaves have been out all week on Washington St. and not picked up as of Sunday a.m.
