Kankakee, IL – Beginning Monday, October 17, and running through Friday, December 2, 2022, the City of Kankakee will begin leaf collection for city residents. Leaf crews will be in your area on your regular garbage day.
Please note that leaves must be out before the crews arrive as they cannot wait or come back once they have passed. It is best to have leaves raked the day before your pick-up. Crews will remove leaves left in rows along the back of the curb in front of the residence. They will not vacuum leaves from the alleys.
As volume increases, they may not get to each resident but will address those piles the following week. Republic Services will continue to pick up the biodegradable paper bags and dump yard waste cans with leaves and yard waste through December 2, 2022.
PLEASE NOTE:
