50/50 Sidewalk and Curbing Program

In an effort to help beautify our city, the City of Logansport provides a set amount of funding each year (as funding is available) to assist property owners in replacing sidewalks and curbing. Property owners may complete an application for sidewalk and/or curb replacement and submit the application to the Street Department. The city’s contracted concrete company will provide an estimated cost for replacement and the city will pay half of the cost upon completion of the job. Applications are on a first-come/first-served basis as long as funds are available. Property owners may use the online application or pick up an application at the Street Department.

Brush and Yard Waste Bags:

How do I dispose of brush?

Brush pick up routes run every other week from April 1^st to October 31st. Brush should be piled butt end out and stacked as neatly as possible with NO TRASH, WIRE or other debris as the brush is fed into a grinder to make mulch that is made available to the city and Cass County residents at no charge. Brush should be placed either curbside or along the alley. If you hire a contractor to trim or take down a tree, it is the contractor’s responsibility to remove the debris. You may call the Street Department for brush pick up November 1^st through March 31^st.
How do I dispose of grass, leaves or garden debris?
Leaves, grass and flower/garden debris should be placed in biodegradable bags and placed in the same location as your trash toter (curbside or along alley). The Street Department bag pick up routes are the same day as your trash collection. Biodegradable yard waste bags are available at McCord’s, Martins, Walmart, or Home Depot.
- Bags must be less than 50 pounds
- No dirt, rocks, walnuts, animal feces, trash, concrete or plastic in the bag.

If you pay someone to do the work, the contractor is responsible to dispose of the yard waste and/or brush. The Street Department does not clean up after contractors.

Dumpsters:

Information

If a dumpster is placed in the street, you must contact the Building Commissioner’s office at 753-4381 for a Request for Dumpster and obtain Board of Works approval.

Snow Removal:

Why hasn’t my street been plowed yet?

The heaviest traveled streets and hills will be plowed and salted/sanded first.
Why do the plows throw snow onto my sidewalk and driveway?

Although our driver’s do not purposely throw snow onto your property, the snow has to go somewhere. It is helpful when you are shoveling your sidewalk, to shovel the snow onto your property and not into the street or along the curbside; driveways should be shoveled to the side of the driveway the snow plow would be heading. This will reduce the amount of snow thrown back onto your sidewalk and driveway.

Street Sweeper:

Information

The street sweeper is run throughout the city to clean debris from our streets when weather permits. The routes are done in sections. Please keep in mind that weather may dictate when the sweeper is running.
