Leaf Removal

The City helps residents remove leaves every year. Here are a few things to know:

  • Please do not mix limbs or other objects with your leave . WE WILL NOT PICK UP PILES OF LEAVES WITH STICKS AND LIMBS MIXED IN.
  • As a general rule, the department will be unable to pick up limbs during leaf pickup season.
  • The city’s collection site on Old Terre Haute Road will be open 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for residents to dump their own yard debris, leaves, and limbs. People must empty their containers at the site and take those containers with them.
  • The day-by-day schedule is tentative and is subject to change due mechanical problems as well as the weather.

Snow Removal Service

The Vincennes Street Department utilizes thirteen vehicles in its snow fighting efforts: two salt brine applicators, 3 ¾ ton pickups, 2 one ton trucks with salt spreaders and plows, and 3-6 heavy duty trucks with salt spreaders and plows. The Vincennes Street Department has 25 designated snow routes divided into 5 zones.

During a snow event, the Vincennes Street Department will first concentrate on the designated snow routes in each zone. Hills, overpasses, and bridges are also considered a first priority. After snow routes are cleared and passable for traffic, the street department will clear roads around schools and begin to make passes through neighborhoods.
