Fall Season Weekly Yard Waste Collection to start the week of October 16th, 2023.
The Town provides leaf pickup on a weekly basis, beginning around mid- October. Leaves must be placed in paper bags and placed at the curb. There is no limit to this service, but we encourage mulching or composting leaves, if possible. Please note, open burning in the Town of Sellersburg is NOT permitted.
For normal yard waste items: Limbs should be bundled in 4-5 ft. lengths tied securely with baling string or cord. There is a limit of Two (2) bundles per pickup up with a diameter of the branches being no larger than 3 inches. These may be placed at the curb with the cut end toward the street. Other vegetative material can either be placed in two (2) 32-gallon cans, clearly marked YARD WASTE on the side of the cans or biodegradable paper yard waste bags.
Please do not intentionally blow your fallen leaves into the street. The street sweeper is designed to clean up leaves that have fallen into the roadway as part of normal road debris. While we do street sweeping, it is not intended for your yard waste. The street sweeper is designed to clean up leaves that have fallen into the roadway and normal road debris. Large amounts of leaves clog the vacuum system of the sweeper truck and clog storm drains that will lead to flooding.
In addition, leaves intentionally blown into the limits of any street, sidewalk, alley, or public way is considered littering in the Town of Sellersburg and enforced by the Sellersburg Police Department per Town Code:
