Fall is well underway, and leaves are everywhere. That means it’s time for the Indianapolis Department of Public Works to begin collecting leaves on the curbside.

From Nov. 11 to Dec. 6, DPW will collect up to 40 bags of leaves per home during your regular trash day pickups.

Leaves should be placed in plastic bags with other trash by 7 a.m. on your scheduled trash pickup day.

Burning leaves is illegal in Marion County and could result in fines up to $2,500.

For more information about leaf collection, call DPW at 317-327-4000
