In order to have loose leaves collected before the end of leaf season, customers must call the CityAction line at 270-687-4444 or the Sanitation Department at 270-687-8760 by Thursday, February 13,^, 2020. Requests for loose-leaf collection received after February 13 will not be honored as crews will resume chipping operations and leaf equipment will be cleaned and stored.
