Lockport, IL – Lockport’s annual bulk curbside leaf collection program is now underway, offering residents a convenient way to dispose of fall leaves. The program, which began this week, will continue through the first week of December, weather permitting.
The city advises residents to rake leaves into the parkway, directly toward the curb, rather than into the street. Officials warn that placing leaves in the street can lead to drainage issues and possible neighborhood flooding. Collection times may vary, with service taking up to two weeks to reach certain areas.
For residents seeking faster disposal, an alternative option is available. Leaves can be placed in brown paper bags for pickup by Waste Management on regular garbage days. Stickers are not required for this service, making it a convenient choice for those looking to bypass the city’s collection schedule.
Lockport residents are encouraged to follow these guidelines closely to ensure a smooth and efficient leaf collection season. For more details, check the Lockport Police Department’s official advisory on their website.
