This Fall must have been the prettiest we’ve had in a very long time.  At least, I don’t remember having one this nice where all the leavesautumn ivy were in their finest colors.
 
Here’s a list of some places you can drop off your leaves.  By now, hopefully with the rain all the leaves have fallen off the trees.  I had already loaded up 15 trash cans of leaves and the other day had around 7 more.  I think I’m done raking now.  However, I have a compost pile and it will love my leaves!  If you don’t have a compost pile, here are some sites locally for you to take your leaves:

The City of Lake Oswego does not have a leaf drop off program.  Residents should use compost bins, take leaves to a drop off site designated by METRO or use the yard-debris containers provided by Rossman Sanitary Service.  Rossman customers who require additional collection can also use “Kraft” bags available at most home improvement stores.

WEST LINN

Leaves may be disposed of in your yard debris container provided by your garbage hauler or you may take leaves and other yard debris to the Dan Davis Recycling Center located at 4001 Willamette Falls Drive.
