Cañon City Leaf Pick-Up program to start Nov. 14

(CAÑON CITY, Colo.) — Cañon City will begin its Leaf Pick-Up program starting Monday, Nov. 14.

Residents who wish to have their leaves picked up must bag their leaves due to federally mandated stormwater regulations, according to the city. Leaves may no longer be raked into the gutter for loose pickup by the city due to water quality regulations for which property owners may be ticketed. Bagged leaves should be placed on the owner’s property near the curb and not in the street or the gutter as in past years.
