City of Camdenton

It will soon be the time of year when the air begins to chill and leaves begin to fall. That means the City will be filled with the sights and sounds of leaves being raked, mower’s mulching up leaves and, in some cases, the smell of leaves being burned. If you do plan on burning leaves, please be sure to call Mid-County Fire Protection District at (573) 346- 3262 to make sure conditions are favorable for burning. One of the best methods for ridding your yard of leaves is to mulch them into the yard with your lawn mower. It not only provides a good nutrient base for next year’s growth cycle, it takes less time than raking and is easier on the body.

For those of you who are not going to mulch, burn or rake your leaves into the woods behind your house, the Camdenton Public Works Department will begin the annual leaf pick-up starting NOVEMBER 29, 2021 Use the map on page 7 to locate what section your property is in and what week your leaves will be picked up. For pick-up, please place your leaves in a pile next to the ditch (NOT IN THE DITCH OR STREET) and be sure there are not any limbs, rocks or other debris mixed in with the leaves. Please ensure your leaves are out the week of your area. We plan on working only on the week specified for your area. The leaf pick-up schedule may be adjusted for weather or other unforeseen circumstances as needed. Due to limitations in personnel and equipment, we will only pick up leaves once a year.
