Residents should rake their leaves to the end of their yards. Leaves should not be raked into the
street or on the curb as this causes clogging issues within the City's drainage system. Leaves
raked into the street or on the curb are a violation of City ordinance.

This schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather and residents will be notified of
any change in the schedule through local media and the City of Alton’s website. At the
conclusion of this schedule, the leaf vacuum truck will no longer run but PACUP will be available
on a limited basis to pick up bagged leaves until February 27, 2014.
Questions concerning this schedule or leaf pick-up in general should be directed to the
Department of Public Works at 618-463-3530.
