I love it when the leaves change to hues of orange, red, and gold. They are so beautiful when at their peak. ON the trees! Not so much on the ground. All of the raking, mowing, bagging....repeat. It seems as though it never ends when fall arrives. Just yesterday, my husband complained about all of the leaves that have fallen in our yard already. He knows how much work it takes, but at least he has help from the City of Owensboro!

Fall leaf collection has officially started along Owensboro city streets and runs through February 15th, 2022. Yesterday, I received the notification with my latest OMU bill as a reminder. You probably received your notice as well, but if not, we've got the leaf collection rules that you'll need to know.

During leaf season, Owensboro Sanitation Crews will complete three passes throughout the city, beginning in zone 9. You can find out where your leaf zone resides by accessing this interactive map.

Here's everything else that you need to know:

Thank you to the Owensboro Sanitation Department for taking care of us and our leaves every year. You all rock!

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
