Leaf Drop Program The City of Milwaukie runs a leaf disposal program each fall, located at our Johnson Creek Facility for City residents. The City has implemented this program to help reduce the problem of leaves being raked, dumped, blown, or otherwise deposited in the street near the curb area, creating possible flooding situations when fall and winter rains move the leaves down the curb line to the catch basins. It is also in violation of City ordinance (08.04.120 Scattering rubbish and composting). The City street sweepers cannot remove piles of leaves. Street sweepers are designed to pick up leaves that fall naturally from trees onto our streets. All participants must reside within the City of Milwaukie Utility Billing area and will need to provide a copy of their utility bill each time they visit our site to dispose of leaves. As always, the City appreciates the cooperative effort its citizens display in keeping our City beautiful. Your efforts, along with the City's scheduled street sweeping, may help prevent flooding. Please contact the Operations Supervisor for more information at (503) 786-7615. Leaf drop flyer with dates
