The City of Roseburg Public Works Department is continuing to offer leaf collection services for homeowners through Friday January 3rd.

Crews follow a cyclical, systematic route to help residents with leaf disposal and to ensure leaf collection is provided in an effective, cost-controlled program that helps keep leaves out of storm drains, creeks and rivers. Last year, Public Works picked up 872 cubic yards of leaves – equal to 87 standard dump truck loads.

Weekday leaf pickups began in the Laurelwood neighborhood, then moved west to the West Harvard Avenue area. From there collections are moving in a clockwise direction, ending in the Mill-Pine Historic District.

Each cycle through Roseburg’s neighborhoods takes about a month, depending on the quantities of leaves picked up. Residents can see pickup route updates on the Public Works Department’s leaf pickup webpage: https://www.cityofroseburg.org/departments/public-works/leaf-program
