The City of Newton’s Street Department will begin vacuuming leaves along the city streets on
November 2, Monday-Friday between the hours of 8 a.m.-3 p.m., until end of November or into
first week of December if required for extended season. The leaves must be on the roadside of
the ditch near the street or at the edge of the street. The city’s leaf vacuum will not reach to the
opposite side of the ditch…only the street side. Leaves should not be located on the street to
interfere with traffic.
Only leaves will be vacuumed, no twigs or limbs.
Between business hours of 8-5 call City Hall 618-783-8451. After 5:00 pm call the Street
Department at 618-783-8511 and leave a message with your address and phone number if there
are leaves to be vacuumed.
