The Mishawaka Street Department will begin the city’s annual fall leaf collection program on Monday, October 16, 2017 and will follow a schedule that should help residents plan their leaf raking activities. Residents may begin raking leaves to their curbside starting the weekend of October 14-15. Leaves will be picked up each week on the day before each resident’s regular trash pick-up day. Those with a Monday trash pickup will have their leaves picked up on Friday. The leaf collection program will continue through November or until leaves are no longer a problem for residents.

Join Mishawaka Parks on Saturday, October 14th for the annual Fall Harvestfest. Activities run from 12 noon until 9pm and feature two locations of fun!
