 Leaf it to us: extra street cleaning & fall reminders
Additional fall street cleaning is scheduled for November and early December to ensure that debris is cleared before the winter months. Make sure to check the posted parking signs at the beginning and end of each block for dates, sign up to receive street cleaning text/email alerts, and view the schedule at cityofevanston.org/streetcleaning.
A couple of quick reminders: Don’t forget—raking leaves into the street is illegal, only electric leaf blowers are allowed during specified hours, and the final day for weekly food and yard waste collections is December 5.
 Make a plan for your post-holiday pumpkins
Rescue your Halloween pumpkins and jack-o’-lanterns from withering on the front porch by dropping them off to be composted at the 9th annual “It's the Great Pumpkin Compost” Collection event on Sat., Nov. 2, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Morton Civic Center parking lot. Download the poster.
Renew your pet license today
Evanston dog and cat owners are reminded to submit their 2025 Pet Registrations to renew their license by December 31, 2024. Registration forms will be mailed on October 31 and community members can renew online, mail the form, or drop it off at the Morton Civic Center, Room 1300.
