The City encourages its residents to participate in Milwaukie's 9th Annual Leaf Drop Program.
The program is FREE to all residents who live within the City of Milwaukie Utility Billing area and all participants need to provide is a copy of their utility bill as proof of residency each time they visit the City's site to dispose of leaves.
The leaves can be loose or bagged in paper or plastic. Residents will need to be prepared to empty plastic bags and/or loose loads.
The City’s Public Works crews do their best to keep the stormwater drains clear of leaves and debris, but downpours like we have throughout the fall months make things challenging. Help from residents to reduce excessive leaf pile up during this time of year is much appreciated. Not only can you enjoy the benefits of a leaf-free yard, but you can also help reduce the localized flooding during heavy rains and improve the quality of water going into our streams and rivers.
As always, the City appreciates the cooperative effort its citizens display in helping keep our City beautiful.
The drop site, located at 6101 SE Johnson Creek Boulevard, will be open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the following Saturdays:
November 17th, December 1st, December 8th & December 15th.
If you have any questions, please contact Ronelle Sears, Stormwater Division Supervisor at 503-786-7615 or searsr@ci.milwaukie.or.us.
