There are so many things to love about fall – cooler temps (sweater weather!), pumpkin spice everything, and of course, all of those beautiful leaves. Fall becomes not so great when those leaves decide to leave their trees and cover everyone’s lawn, forcing us to rake them up. Raking leaves was one of my least favorite things to do as a kid, and it’s only slightly better as an adult.
Evansville’s Fall Leaf Pickup Dates
But there is a bit of good news for like-minded adults here in Evansville. The Evansville Water & Sewer Utility (EWSU) has announced its annual Fall Leaf Pickup schedule. It won’t help raking the leaves, but it does offer an easy way to get rid of those leaves. This year’s fall leaf pickup runs from Monday, October 27th, through Friday, December 12th.
