Leave the leaves?

Johnson County residents in most cities and towns can have their leaves picked up curb-side during normal trash pick-up times. The county does not offer any specific services for leaf pick-up for residents in unincorporated parts of the county, such as the Center Grove area.

Bargersville: Residents should rake leaves to the curb and not bag them. The town has created a schedule through Dec. 11 for Bargersville subdivisions.
