There is a proper way to dispose of leaf and yard waste within the city limits.

The City of Oskaloosa allows its residents to dump brush, limbs, and unbagged leaves at no cost at the “snow dump” facility located on the south side of Suffolk Road at the intersection of High Avenue West. It is illegal to pile, blow or rake leaves onto the streets. Doing so can clog storm sewers, preventing them from working properly during a storm and possibly leading to flooding. It is also illegal to burn leaves within the City limits.
