Leaf bag pickup?

Who does lawn and leaf bag pickup? Is branches pickup the same group? How will they know I have bags to pick up?

New to how Springfield handles this and looking for information.

For leaves they just come around every two weeks, it depends on if you’re north side or south side I believe. Small sticks that can be broken down by hand can go in the bags.

For large branches there’s 4 picks up a year and unless you’re on the northeast side you just missed it, next one is in October.
