The Noblesville Street Department has announced that leaf pickup is in effect from now until the end of the year – weather permitting. There are two methods that residents may use to dispose of leaves: 1) Raking loose leaves to the curb, and 2) Bagging leaves in free, biodegradable leaf bags. The bagged leaf method is preferred due to it being more efficient and cost effective.
If residents choose to rake their leaves, then loose leaves must be raked as closely to the edge of the street as possible without placing leaves in the street. Loose leaves with brush, grass, litter, and/or other debris will not be picked up, as this will damage equipment. Street crews will make a continuous circuit of the city to pick up loose leaves until the end of the year. On average, it will take approximately four to five weeks to make a complete circuit of the city.
Bagged leaves will be picked up on the same day as residents’ regular trash day. Please make sure that leaves are bagged only in the free, biodegradable bags provided by the city and are placed separately from trash containers. Residents may set out as many biodegradable bags as necessary, but each bag must weigh no more than 40 pounds. Biodegradable bags are available free of charge to Noblesville residents at all fire stations, City Hall, the street or parks departments, and the Hamilton County Household Hazardous Waste Center.
Please note that neither loose leaves nor bagged leaves will be picked up in alleys. Pickups will only be in front of a resident’s house.
