Leaf Pickup Dates Announced For Evansville And Newburgh

It’s officially time to start thinking about your fall leaves, and both the City of Evansville and the Town of Newburgh have revealed their plans.

Admittedly, I am team "leave the leaves." However, I understand that not everyone feels the same way. If I'm being honest, the trees on and around my property drop so many leaves that even if I bagged and disposed of a lot of them, there would be plenty left for the local critters that overwinter in them.

So, if you're ready to start raking and need to know when to place your leaves at the curb, I've put together the details for you.

When Leaf Pickup Begins In Evansville

The City of Evansville will collect leaves beginning Monday, October 27th, and continuing through Friday, December 12th.
