The city of Jackson will again pick up bagged leaves left curbside this fall. This is the third year for the program.
Bagged leaves must be placed curbside on the designated collection days by 6am. There will be two rounds of bagged leaf pickup in three sections of the entire city.
The schedule is as follows:
Section 1 • October 28
Section 2 • November 4
Section 3 • November 11
Section 1 • November 18
Section 2 • December 2
Section 3 • December 9
Section1 is in the southeast portion of the city, bordering East North Street, Cooper Street, West Michigan Avenue and South Jackson Street. Section 2 is in the north portion of the city of Jackson, bordered by East North Street, Cooper Street and West Michigan Avenue. Section 3 rests in the southwest portion of the community, bordered by West Michigan Avenue and South Jackson Street.
“Residents need to purchase any 30-gallon paper leaf bag from the supplier of their choice this year, after we received complaints the first few years of having residents pick up leaf bags at City Hall,” Public Information Officer Will Forgrave said. “We’re constantly tweaking the program to better serve our residents. While no plan will make everyone happy, we want to best serve as many people as possible.”
