The signs of fall are all around Billings. Temperatures are plummeting, Halloween decorations are everywhere and, maybe most importantly, next week you'll be able to quickly and easily dispose of your fallen leaves.
Because as aesthetically autumnal as the changing leaves are on their trees, as soon as they fall they become something else: another chore.
But the city of Billings is making that chore a little bit easier. As always, people are encouraged to use their regular yard waste bins for leaf disposal. But if that's not enough room, starting next Monday, Oct. 13, there will be eight leaf collection container sites around town:

Clevenger Park
Dehler Park
Pioneer Park
Veterans Park
Amend Park
Mayflower Congregational Church
Poly Vista Park
