The City of Fort Smith’s Public Works Department will begin its annual Leaf Vacuuming Program on Monday, November 2.

The program will run through February 2027, and residents can start calling now to get on the pickup list. Call 479-784-2360 to schedule your pickup. Before calling, make sure your leaves are raked or blown to the proper location.

A few things to remember:
- If your property has a roadside ditch, place leaves on the backside of the ditch.
- If there is no roadside ditch, place leaves within 10 feet of the backside of the curb or edge of the pavement.
- Do not rake or blow leaves into ditches, storm drains, streets or on top of sidewalks.
- Leaves mixed with trash, limbs or other debris will not be picked up.

Help us keep Fort Smith’s streets and drainage areas clear this fall and winter by placing leaves in the designated pickup areas. Call 479-784-2360 today to get on the list!
