In addition to a full range of public services, the City of Sidney Public Works Departments are pleased to offer the following supplemental services, most of which, are at no extra charge to its residents.

Mulch  Leaf Pickup

Park and Pickup Service Christmas Tree Pickup

Details of most of these services, with actual starting and completion dates, are published in the local newspaper, with some notices occasionally mentioned by our local Radio Station.

Please contact the City Service Center @ 498-8117 for more information.

Mulch Give-a-way: (Typically around April/May & again around September-October)
When available, the City offers to its residents, free wood chips and mulch consisting of composted grass and leaves. Composted materials are not chemically treated. This service involves Saturday morning loading of leaf or brush mulch in personal containers, trailers, pickup trucks, etc. Details are published by the local media.

Park and Pickup Service(Seasonal: Typically May through September)
Although not free, this is a convenient service. A dump truck can be rented from the City for $50 per load plus dumping fees. The City delivers the truck to your home and picks it up when full. (Residents can keep the truck for up to two consecutive work days, or over a weekend.) This service is NOT provided to businesses, only individual residents upon request. Please call the Service Center @ 498-8117 for this request.

Leaf Pickup: (Typically around mid to late October until later in November)
In the fall, rake leaves into piles and place at the “curb edge” and they will be picked up by a leaf collection machine. No weekly schedule is followed due to the unknown quantities of leaves each week. During peak season, it may take up to three-four weeks for the City’s four trucks to make one round about town. (The date for this program will be announced each season; beginning and ending dates dependent on weather.)

Christmas Tree Pickup: (Typically in early to mid-January)
Christmas trees are picked up after the holidays. (This is for dying or dead wood Christmas trees; artificial trees may be disposed of in regular refuse collection.) Please remove bases and any nails or metal fasteners, these trees will be chipped and distributed later as mulch. Tree pick-up is weather dependent. Details are published by the local media.
