Leaves are coming down across Champaign-Urbana, and the city's free fall yard waste pickup starts today.
It runs Oct. 26 through Dec. 11 for residential properties inside Champaign city limits. Set bagged leaves or bundled branches and twigs at the curb by 6 a.m. on your scheduled date.
One reminder: leaf burning is prohibited in Champaign and Urbana, and within 1,000 feet of their boundaries in Champaign County. Before you set anything out, check the city's collection schedule and bag rules.
