Annual Fall Leaf Collection Program Starts October 28, Ends December 13

(October 21, 2024) Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) will offer the annual fall leaf collection service to City residential customers starting Monday, October 28, through Friday, December 13. During this period, eligible residential customers who pay for trash and recycling with their monthly water and sewer bill can place properly bagged leaves next to the curb for pickup by Republic Services on their regular trash collection day.

How it works

• Leaves must be contained in biodegradable plastic or paper leaf bags or in containers.
• Bags must be in manageable, organized piles and placed curbside near the trash and recycling carts.
• Bags and containers should be at the pickup location before 6 a.m. on the normal day of trash collection, not days in advance of the trash collection.

Leaves not in biodegradable bags or that do not meet these requirements will not be collected. Customers will be notified and asked to re-bag the leaves for collection the following week. Customers who have complied with the requirements but their leaves were not collected should call Republic Services at 812-424-3345 within two days after their regular trash collection day.

Who is not eligible

Apartment complexes, mobile home communities, business and commercial customers, and Utility customers who live outside the City of Evansville are not eligible. 

Heavy Trash temporarily suspended

Heavy trash pickups will not be scheduled during the Fall Leaf Collection Program. Heavy trash pickups will resume on Monday, December 16, 2024.
