Fall Leaf Collection
Each year, Latah Sanitation provides a Fall Leaf Collection Service for City of Moscow residents. During the collection, residents may place leaves and other non-woody lawn and garden trimmings out for curbside collection.
Residents are asked to haul their leaves to Moscow Recycling's 24 hour yard-waste drop-off site located directly behind Moscow Recycling on N. Almon Street. If you are unable to haul your own leaves, then call Latah Sanitation (208) 882-5724 or Moscow Recycling (208) 882-0590 to set up an appointment to have your leaves collected. For more details, visit our Events page.
