City of St. Johns Master Plan 

 The City of St. Johns is updating its Master Plan.

We have a survey link open as an opportunity to leave your feedback. It should take you no more than 10 minutes to complete, and your feedback will be incorporated in to the final plan.

Changes to Fall Leaf Collection

No need to bag leaves any longer, the City of St. Johns has purchased a leaf vacuum truck system. This vacuum will pick up leaves more efficiently and quickly, while leaving behind less debris.

   The schedule for picking up leaves is as follows: 

North of M-21 (State Street) will be the first half of October and November

South of M-21 (State Street) will be the second half of October and November

Please rake leaves in a pile in the City right-of-way area in front your house, between the sidewalk and the curb. If there is no sidewalk in front of your property, please rake leaves 6 inches behind the curb but not further than 6 feet from the curb. DO NOT RAKE LEAVES IN THE STREET, as the leaves can be hazardous with traffic and also block storm sewers from draining properly.  Anyone raking or otherwise placing leaves, trimmings, & similar type organic plant materials in the public street will be subject to a $50 civil infraction fine.

You may still use the compostable brown yard waste bags for leaves, garden vegetation (including pumpkins) & small sticks.  These bags will be picked up by the curb during your normal scheduled leaf collection pick-up.

A final reminder, despite all advanced preparation, equipment can breakdown or weather events can slow or end the program early.  Do not wait to rake.  Early snowfall requires equipment and crews to be redirected to snow removal operations. 

· The regular curbside brush pick up is suspended during leaf pick-up. 

· Loose leaves & compostable brown yard waste bags can be taken to the Department of Public Works, 1000 N. US-127 BR.  This site is open 24/7.  Please use the Kuntz Drive entrance.

· If you are a senior or physically challenged and are unable to dispose of your leaves, contact City Offices at (989) 224-8944, ext. 282 or email twright@ci.saint-johns.mi.us by November 1st so arrangements can be made.
