Starting Monday and continuing through the month of November Junction City residents may bring bags of leaves, grass clippings and bulk leaves to be dropped off at two separate locations.

Residents are asked to drop off only leafs or grass clippings, NO TRASH OR TREE LIMBS ALLOWED. The drop off systems will be on the honor system relying on the public to not place trash in the collection bin areas. The drop-off center bins will be constructed of concrete barriers and signed accordingly at the locations.

If trash and other non bio-degradable materials become an issue the drop off collection system will stop and the program will be restructured.

Drop off locations include:

Playground Park – 1000 block West 5th Street ( near the city pool area )

and

Public Works Center – 2324 North Jackson Street ( near the City/County Animal Shelter )

The intent of the program is to become environmental stewards of our community; Allow residents an opportunity to drop and remove leaves and other bio-degradable materials; Minimize the amount of materials going into our landfills and further help in maintaining affordable sanitation rates within our community.

Questions please contact the City of Junction City, Department of Public Works at 238-7142.
