MISHAWAKA TO HAVE ONE-WEEK

LEAF PICK-UP PROGRAM

Mayor Dave Wood announced today that the Mishawaka Street Department will once again be able to provide a one-week leaf pick-up in the City of Mishawaka.  The leaf pick-up will begin on Monday April 24, 2023.  This means that Mishawaka residents may begin raking leaves to their curbside for a Monday, April 24^th pick-up which will continue through Friday, April 28^th.   Please note that this will be a spring leaf pick-up for one week only.

Leaves will be picked up the day before the resident’s regular trash pick-up day.  For example, if a resident’s trash pick-up day is on Wednesday, the Mishawaka Street Department will pick up leaves from that residence on Tuesday.  The Monday scheduled trash pick-up will have their leaves picked up on Friday, April 28^th.

Leaves should be raked to the edge of the curb and should be free of branches, twigs, stones or similar foreign objects which can damage equipment and delay leaf pick-up.  Any questions about the leaf pick-up schedule can be answered by calling the Mishawaka Central Services office at

258-1660.
