With a big change in the forecast coming our way this week, things will be looking and feeling a lot like fall. In Meridian, residents have two options for leaf disposal with curbside pickup and drop-off sites across the city.As fall approaches, we are excited to offer residents a way to divert leaves from the landfill. Composting leaves is a great way to conserve open space and cycle these leaves back into the environment as compost, said the City of Meridians Solid Waste Coordinator, Sayard Schultz.Curbside collection will take place on regular trash pick-up days between October 23 - November 22.The city shares these reminders for curbside pick-up: Leaves only Branches, pumpkins, and garden plants are NOT accepted Limit of 10 leaf bags per week Place leaves in paper leaf bags (please do not tape or staple bags) or in your subscription yard debris cartDesignated leaf pick-up trucks will collect bags as late as 7 p.m. but residents are asked to have their bags at the curb by 6 a.m. on their regular trash day.Meridian residents can also drop off leaf materials at bins across the city between October 22 and December 12.
