Coeur d'Alene's Annual Leaf-fest begins November 12, grab your rakes!

Some of my happiest childhood memories involve huge piles of leaves under the ancient poplar trees that framed our house at 9th and Sherman.  They're all gone now, our home and those trees.  But each fall as the leaves pile up around town they live on in my memories.

Coeur d'Alene Leaf FestThe city's annual leaf pick-up program begins on November 12.

Residents are asked to rake their leaves and pine needles into the streets, about a foot out from the gutter line to allow for water drainage.  Please do not put bagged leaves, branches, rubble or refuse in the street. 

There is no cost to you.

Coeur d'Alene Leaf festCity crews will be moving fast, beginning south of Sherman and working their way north.  Once an area has been cleared they won't return, so if you're too late you're just out of luck.  Due to weather conditions, equipment malfunctions, and unforseen circumstances, city crews are unable to provide a precise schedule of where leaf pick up will take place. 

They expect completion before December 1.

Please note that there is no charge to residents to haul leaves, pine needles, limbs, branches, or debris to the landfill.  Waste Management WILL charge to haul bagged leaves.

For more info go to www.street.cdaid.org or call the Street Maintenance Department at 769-2233.

Thanks!  I LOVE this time of year, the beautiful fall colors and the crunch of the leaves under foot...
