Kalispell starts leaf removal

The Kalispell Public Works Department has announced guidelines for fall leaf pickup.

Kalispell residents and business operators are encouraged to rake the leaves from the boulevard onto the street approximately two feet away from the curb.

Vehicles must be removed from curbsides during leaf pickup operations.

Avenues will be done on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Streets will be done on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Outlying residential areas will be done daily. City street personnel will make every effort to remove leaves as quickly as possible.

Do not put rocks, dirt, cans, bottles, branches and items of this nature in the leaf piles because they may injure workers and damage machinery.
