Mankato’s annual leaf pick-up started this week
October 25, 2022 9:37AM CDT
Mankato-Mankato’s annual leaf pick–up service began Monday, October 24, and will last through Friday, November 18, weather permitting.
Leaf pick–up runs as usual Monday through Friday.
Leaf pick–up generally begins when the majority of leaves are on the ground and runs for approximately four weeks.
Residents should place leaves in the street in wind rows along the curb, free of sticks and branches.
People with homes on a corner lot are asked to pull leaves from the street corner because the leaf vacuum machine turns too wide to pick up leaves left on the corner.
The leaf vacuum removes leaves and chops and compacts them; they are then recycled as mulch.
