Leaf Removal

The Street Division focuses on the need to remove fallen leaves from City-owned trees so that vehicles and pedestrian traffic can move safely throughout the City. Street crews using shovels, pitchforks, loaders and dump trucks load and haul leaves to pre-designated areas for City composting.

Citizens may also request to have leaves delivered to their gardens for composting. Call 442.5660, 442.5620 to obtain leaves. Please note the following ordinance regarding non-City tree leaves and yard trimmings in the right-of-way:

Section 7.12.060, Paragraph (B) of the Longview Municipal Code states:
"It is unlawful for any person to bury or dump waste paper, boxes, leaves, trash, debris, grass, wood and cuttings from trees, lawns, shrubs and gardens upon the street, alley of public place in the city."
