Hey Everyone!
Micah Davis asked chat GPT about brush/leaf collection in Noblesville because we have seen the trucks go by and always wondered. Below is the response he received. We thought it would be good to share with you all!
Yes! If you live in Noblesville, IN, the city provides both brush (limbs/sticks) and leaf collection as part of its seasonal services:
⸻
🌿 Brush/Limb Collection
• Vehicle: Noblesville Street Department
• Schedule:
• Weekly pickup runs from March 3 to October 3, 2025, on your regular trash day (same day but a separate crew).
• Outside those dates, brush removal is available but must be scheduled by calling 317‑776‑6348.
• Guidelines:
• Pile brush on the right-of-way (between street and sidewalk), not in the alley.
• Stack in small bundles: ≤ 4′ long and 18″ diameter.
• Larger piles require scheduling to avoid delays.
⸻
🍂 Leaf Collection
• Conducted by the Street Department
• Bagged Leaf Pickup:
• Runs from October 6 through December 5, 2025 (note: similar dates in preceding years).
• Use compostable bags (free at fire stations, City Hall, Parks Dept, or Street Dept).
• Bags must be placed at the right-of-way, weighed ≤ 40 lbs, and are hauled weekly on your trash day.
• Loose Leaf Pickup:
• Also from October 6 to December 5, 2025. Crews go around city-wide with vacuums; a full route takes about 4 weeks.
• After December 5, loose leaves may only be picked up as time/weather permits, so leaves should be bagged to guarantee pickup.
