As winter appears to be getting closer and closer, the city has announced that the seven leaf collection sites will be closing Monday, December 11 at sunset.
Any residents still raking up leaves can drop them off at these collection sites free of charge.
After the sites close, residents can still set yard waste out weekly at the curb or ally in compost bins and as many as 10 bags at a time. Leaves can also be taken to the Ada County Landfill until December 16.
