Leaf collection in Kalispell begins Oct. 16

The Kalispell Public Works Department will start the collection of leaves this season beginning Oct. 16 and will stop the collection effort on Nov. 17.

The leaf collection season is instituted to promote effective and efficient leaf collection services by the Public Works Department prior to the onset of the winter snow season.

Residents and business owners are encouraged to rake the leaves from the boulevard onto the street approximately two feet away from the curb. Residents should rake the leaves past the curb by the start of their scheduled weekday, to not miss collection.

In an effort to provide routine leaf service in areas throughout Kalispell, the Public Works Department has designated areas of leaf collection for each day of the week. Please visit https://www.kalispell.com/265/Leaf-Removal and click the image at the top of the page for the map with the designated areas and corresponding days of the week for collection.

Public Works personnel will make every effort to collect leaves on the designated days, however unpredictable leaf volumes, weather conditions, and equipment failures may require leaf collection days to be performed outside of the scheduled areas.
