- City of Idaho Falls to Begin Annual Leaf Collection Oct. 27
IDAHO FALLS ~ Idaho Falls residents can expect to see the City's Street and Sanitation Divisions in action as they kick off their annual leaf collection program on Monday, October 27th. The program will run through Friday, November 21st, with crews working diligently to remove and haul away loose leaves from the streets.
In preparation for the collection, residents are encouraged to rake their leaves into the street along the curb at least one week before their scheduled collection date. It is important to note that leaves should be free of branches, sticks, and other debris in order for them to be collected. The Street Division crews will make one curbside collection in each neighborhood, but in some areas, they may arrive a few days early to remove large piles using heavy equipment before completing final cleanup with street sweepers.
The schedule for leaf collection may vary slightly depending on weather conditions and volume. Residents can stay updated on any changes by referring to the Leaf Collection Map & Schedule provided by the City. To ensure a smooth and efficient process, residents are asked to move all vehicles, trailers, and other items off the street during collection.

It is important to note that repeat collections are not guaranteed and will only occur if weather and workload allow. For those who prefer to bag their leaves or miss their scheduled pickup date, there are two options available. They can either drop off bagged leaves at the Bonneville County Transfer Station free of charge or schedule one free curbside pickup of bagged leaves weighing under 50 pounds each through the Sanitation Division. However, it is essential to keep in mind that bags will not be provided by the city for this service.
In addition to leaf collection, the City would like to remind residents about tree trimming regulations outlined in City Code Title 8, Chapter 9. Property owners must keep trees trimmed at least 13 feet above the road surface at the curb and 15 feet above the road surface at the centerline to ensure safe navigation for city equipment and prevent damage. Leaves that are blocked by parked vehicles, low hanging branches, trash, or other debris will not be collected.
For any questions or concerns regarding leaf collection, residents can contact the Street Division at (208) 612-8490 or the Sanitation Division at (208) 612-8491 to schedule a bagged leaf pickup. The City also provides a Leaf Collection Map & Schedule for reference. With everyone's cooperation and adherence to regulations, the City of Idaho Falls hopes to have a successful and efficient leaf collection program this year.
