LEAF PICKUP
Residents are encouraged to use their lawn mowers to chop up leaves or pile leaves for future use as a mulch product. Leaf pickup for the City of Tusculum occurs during the months of November and December. If you would like your leaves removed, you should rake your leaves to the edge of the street for pickup with a leaf vacuum. The leaves must be free of limbs, sticks, rocks, walnuts, etc. If not, the leaves will not be removed. Do not bag leaves during this time.
