Missoula, MT – According to the city officials, crews will start in the neighborhoods north of the Clark Fork River during the first week.
City officials also said that those neighborhoods include the Rattlesnake Valley and Grant Creek, along with most of the north side of downtown and the West Side and North Side areas.
Crews will then move to central Missoula south of the river and throughout the city through Nov. 22.
The schedule starts in older neighborhoods with mature trees and the highest volume of leaves with the expectation that crews can return to those neighborhoods at the end of the season if weather permits.
For residents who don’t want to wait for their collection date, who miss their collection date, or whose trees drop more leaves after their collection date, they are invited to take their leaves to Garden City Compost at no charge from Oct. 30 through Nov. 22.
This is for leaves only. Loads with branches and other tree or yard debris will be charged regular prices.
