Every Monday in November the City of Polson Street Departments will be offering free pickup of leaves that have been placed in biodegradable leaf bags.

Leaves placed in plastic bags will not be picked up. Residents are asked to place biodegradable leaf bags for pickup at the curbside.

This service is provided by the City to help our residents as they clean up and maintain their properties. The change to biodegradable leaf bags is an effort to increase the efficiency of the fall leaf clean up by reducing the cost in working hours for city employees.

It will also eliminate the use of landfill by allowing the decomposed leaves and bags to be reused to replenish top soil and mulch on future City projects.

Biodegradable leaf bags are available for purchase at local retail stores.

For more information, call the City of Polson Street Department at 406-883-8202 or streets@cityofpolson.com for questions or concerns.
