Fall Has Fallen.... Bag Up Those Leaves!
This year's program runs from November 7 to December 30.
Grab a rake and your favorite pair of garden gloves, it's leaf collection time time in the valley! If you live in the Medford city limits, Rogue Disposal and Recycling will pick up your bagged leaves at no charge to you. Use heavy-duty 33-gallon bags — the kind you find at any grocery, warehouse or home improvement store — to bag your leaves and take them to the curb. Then we’ll take care of the rest.
