Compost your dried leaves and pine needles this fall

FLAGSTAFF — The City of Flagstaff invites the public to drop off dried leaves and pine needles at three drop-off locations in Flagstaff on Saturday, October 29 and Sunday, October 30.

Bags of dried leaves and pine needles can be delivered to the following locations between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.:

  • Jay Lively Activity Center (1650 N Turquoise Dr)
  • Continental Park (5650 E Old Walnut Canyon Rd)
  • University Highlands Park (3888 S Jewel Dr)

City staff will be present to assist residents with drop-off. Only leaves and pine needles will be accepted at this time.

Material from the Leaf and Pine Needle Drop-off will be used to enrich the compost piles at the NAU compost facility. The event seeks to advance the City’s Carbon Neutrality Plan and Rethink Waste Plan goals by diverting green waste from the landfill.
