It's that time of year again.  Falling temps bring falling leaves and many people choose to rake them and remove them from their lawns.  But what can you do with them once you've bagged them up?

Superior residents can take part in a leaf pickup program.  City crews will pick up bagged leaves, according to the following schedule:

  • November 3 –Monday All of Billings Park
  • November 4 – Tuesday Between Belknap Street & North 37th Street and Butler Avenue & Hill Avenue (including Hayes Court)
  • November 5 – Wednesday Between North 3rd Street & Belknap Street and Butler Avenue and East 2nd Street
  • November 6 – Thursday Between Belknap Street and North 21st Street and Hill Avenue and East 2nd Street
  • November 7 – Friday Between North 21st Street and 31st Avenue East and Hill Avenue and East 2nd Street (all of East End)
  • November 10 – Monday All of South Superior and Butler Park
  • November 11 – Tuesday Veterans Day - City offices closed/No trash pickup
  • November 12 – Wednesday All of Allouez, Itasca, and Allouez Acres

In order to have your leaves picked up, you'll need to follow these directions specifically:

  • Leaves must be bagged and tied.
  • Place bags of clean leaves on the alley or street where normal garbage collection occurs, clear of traffic and garbage cans.
  • Leaf bags are to be free of other debris such as wood, paper, garbage, plastic, etc. Bags containing other debris will not be picked up and disposal will be the responsibility of the residents.
  • Brush and grass clippings will not be picked up. These can be brought to the landfill. Grass clippings are always free, and brush is $5 per car, truck, or trailer load. Car/truck with trailer full is $10.

Of course - if you miss your scheduled pickup date, you're always welcome to utilize the city's landfill.  Leaves can be brought to the Superior Municipal Landfill on Moccasin Mike Road, free of charge all year round. Landfill hours are 8:00 AM to 3:40 PM Monday through Friday and Saturday from 7:00 to 11:00 AM. Bags containing items other than leaves will be charged normal landfill rates.
