Annual Leaf Pick-Up begins November 16th





The City of Lodi's annual leaf removal program begins Monday, Nov. 16.
Residents still needing leaf removal services are reminded that street sweeping begins at 4 a.m., with the leaf collection crews following at 6:30 a.m. The City will not collect leaf piles placed in the street after collection crews pass until the next regularly scheduled pickup. Please rake leaves beyond the toe of the gutter so any rain can flow into the storm drain unobstructed.


A map of the City's 10 leaf pickup districts is shown below. The pickup schedule is on an approximate two-week cycle. The leaf pickup program will last approximately two months.


Some tips for residents:
Leaf piles containing prunings, lawn clippings or flowers will NOT be picked up.
Do not place leaves in plastic bags. The bags will not be picked up.
Please do not park cars on the street. They interfere with pickup.


If you need additional yard and garden waste containers, contact Central Valley Waste Services at 369-8274.

One person's junk is another person's treasure?


Roughly 150 pieces of office furniture ranging from desks to lockers and couches are available for sale between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the City of Lodi's Municipal Service Center, 1331 S. Ham Lane.

And no haggling!

The items, priced from $5 to $25, were formerly used in the City's police, library, finance and transit departments.

All purchases must be made in cash and are final. All purchased merchandise must be removed by noon or the items will be disposed of as trash or scrapped for recycling. Prices are not negotiable.

Interested buyers should park at the Kofu Park parking lot and walk into the Municipal Service Center to the sales location. Once an item is purchased, the buyer will be allowed to drive a vehicle into the MSC to load his or her item(s).


The City is conducting the surplus sale to free space for other storage needs. Funds will benefit the City's General Fund programs.
