Iola city crews will pick up bagged leaves from the curbside starting Monday.

The plan is to make one sweep through town to pick up the bags.

Residents are not required to call ahead, but they must have the bags in place by Sunday evening.

Only one sweep will be made through town.

“It worked out well last year” doing it the three days prior to Thanksgiving, Iola Interim City Administrator Corey Schinstock told City Council members last week.

City officials are eager to get the fallen foliage cleared away, because loose leaves are notorious for clogging storm water runoff lines and drainage whistles.
