The Mishawaka Street Department will begin the city’s annual fall leaf pick-up program on Monday, Oct. 24. This means that Mishawaka residents may begin raking their leaves to the curbside starting the weekend of Oct. 22 and Oct. 23.
Leaves will be picked up each week the day before each resident’s regular trash pick-up day. For example, if a resident’s trash pick-up day is on Wednesday, the Mishawaka Street Department will pick up leaves from that residence on Tuesday. Those with a Monday trash pick-up day will have their leaves picked up on Friday.
Leaves should be raked to the edge of the curb and should be free of branches, twigs, stones or similar foreign objects which can damage equipment and delay leaf pick-up. Residents are encouraged not to rake leaves into the street immediately after a vacuum unit has passed through an area because the vacuum will not return…
