Leaves. It’s up to you to pick them up.

The city does not provide leaf removal or pick up, nor does the city sweep up leaves that have accumulated in the street.

Residents who rake or blow their leaves can bag them and leave them at the curb for their trash removal service to pick up.

Another option is to start a compost pile in your back yard.

When you rake or blow your leaves, do not deposit them in the street, in the curb or into a storm drainage culvert. Leaves on the street can become wet and slippery, leading to hazardous situations.

It is against city ordinance to dump, rake or blow your leaves into the storm drainage system or onto a city street. Overland Park also prohibits the burning of leaves anywhere within the city. Anyone caught burning leaves is subject to a ticket and a subsequent fine.
