Leaf pickup in South Bend to begin late October

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The City of South Bend’s Fall ReLeaf program begins on October and will last until November 27.

Crews will collect leaves according to a routine pickup schedule.





The City asks that residents follow their guidelines for the Fall ReLeaf program:

Leaves need to be raked to the tree lawn area, NOT into the street, by 6:00 a.m. on the pickup date to ensure they are picked up.

Leaves need to be free of sticks, trash and other debris or they may not be picked up.

Cars should not be parked on top or in front of leaf piles along curb lines, as this hampers leaf collection.

Leaf burning is prohibited and is a violation of City ordinance.

Residents can call 311 with any questions.

As part of the City’s Yard Waste program, residents can also dispose of leaves via their yard waste bins. A weekly collection schedule will run through the last week of November.

To schedule an extra yard waste pickup, fill out the online form or call 311.
