It's Fall and That Means Leaf Collection Time!
This year's program runs from November 4 to December 27.
Grab a rake and your favorite pair of garden gloves, it’s leaf collection time in the Valley! If you live in Rogue Disposal & Recycling's service area of Medford, Central Point, Phoenix or White City, we will pick up your bagged leaves at no charge to you. Use heavy-duty 33-gallon bags — the kind you find at any grocery, warehouse or home improvement store — to bag your leaves and take them to the curb. Then we’ll take care of the rest. Get raking, fall has fallen!
