TREASURE VALLEY, Idaho — Fall leaves have started to hit the ground and just in time, leaf collection sites are now open in Boise and Meridian.
Leaf recycling opens for the season at Nampa Cemetery
In Boise, there are seven sites open where residents can bring their excess leaves, and only leaves, in paper bags to the marked dumpsters:

These stations will be in place until December 11 and are for residential use only. Businesses should take leaves to the Ada County Landfill.
Those who participate in Boise's compost program will also benefit from weekly curbside pick up of compost and paper leaf bags all year round. Up to ten paper leaf bags a week per household will be picked up.
In Meridian, ten leaf drop sites have opened and will remain so until December 14:

These locations are also exclusively collecting leaves and to make things even easier, Meridian also offers curbside collection of leaf bags from October 23 until November 17. Residents should set their paper leaf bags at the curb by 6 am on your regular trash service day.
Also note that leaves are collected by a separate truck and may come at a different time than your normal trash pickup.
