Spring leaf pickup extended for two weeks
LOOSE LEAF PICKUP
The City of South Bend has announced that Operation Spring ReLeaf will be continued for an
additional two weeks, through April 8. According to Sam Hensley, Director of Streets, “our crews
responded to over 85 call-ins for pickup last week. We appreciate the community’s efforts to clean-up
the remaining leaves and our goal is to complete this as soon as possible before our crews begin our in-
house paving and repair program.” Leaf pickup and recycling (at Organic Resources) is an important
part of South Bend’s Clean City effort.
All residents are encouraged to rake their loose leaves to the curb, and then call the Division of
Street at 235-9244 for pick-up.
YARD WASTE PICKUP
Bagged leaves and bagged or bundled yard waste pickup is also available, on a call-in basis,
through the Division of Solid Waste until Thursday, April 16. The automatic program (no call-in
necessary) will begin Monday, April 19. Please call the Bureau of Solid Waste at
277-8823 to schedule a pickup.
