The City of Bartlesville’s free leaf collection is underway this week (Nov 12-16). Residents may place their leaves at the curb in bags on their normal trash collection day and they will be collected by Solid Waste crews.
What you need to know:
- Collection is for leaves and grass. Limbs and branches will also be collected if cut in lengths no longer than four feet and bundled.
- Leaf bags will not require yard waste stickers
- Clear or colored bags allowed
- Collection is for private residences only; no commercial collections will be made
- There is no limit on the number of bags a resident can put out for the collection
- Leaves and grass will only be collected once, on your normal collection day of the week
- Extra bags or items of household refuse outside the cart must have the Red Refuse sticker attached
- Residents should comply with all other standard refuse regulations.
Yard refuse will be collected separately from trash, “so don’t be alarmed if you see a truck pick up your trash but not your leaves,” said Public Works Director Keith Henry. “They’ll come back for those.”
The free collection will be offered again the week of December 17-21. For more information, contact the Solid Waste Department at 918.338.4130.
