The City of Twin Falls reminds City utility customers that they can dispose of up to six bags of leaves and small yard debris at no additional cost. Simply bag the material and place it next to your garbage can on your regular collection day. Each bag must weigh no more than 35 pounds.
Bagging leaves also helps prevent clogged storm drains and localized flooding. Fallen leaves can mix with dirt and other debris, blocking the drains that carry rainwater and snowmelt away from City streets.
Residents are encouraged to collect leaves from their property before they blow into streets and to clear visible leaf accumulation from sidewalks, street gutters and around storm drains. Please bag collected leaves for disposal rather than rake or blow them into the street.
It is not necessary to remove every leaf to make a difference. Clearing accumulated debris helps water reach storm drains and move through the drainage system. Never remove a storm drain grate or cover.
City crews also use street sweepers and other equipment to remove debris from heavily affected areas. Residents can support that work by keeping leaves out of gutters and taking advantage of the disposal service included with their City utility service.
