Grounds Maintenance Section

The Grounds Maintenance Section maintains all of the City parks. Services includes mowing, grounds leaf pickup, catch basin clean up, drainage ditch clean up, and tree trimming and planting. Their most recent and on-going project is the assembly, with the help of the Woodburn Rotary Club, of the gazebo at the Downtown Plaza. Every December the Grounds Maintenance personnel coordinates the arrangement of the Downtown Plaza Holiday tree and lights in preparation for our Tree Lighting event. The entire staff takes pride in beautifying the City's most utilized parks and works in conjunction with our Community Services Department to accomplish this.

2009 Fall Leaf Program

City Council adopted a leaf pickup program for the residents of Woodburn. The leaf program is necessary for safety reasons and for cost effectiveness to the Community. The City streets are swept on a monthly basis. Sweeping is performed twice a week on the main streets in the Downtown Core Area, between Settlemier Avenue to First Street and between Harrison Street to Oak Street, due to the numerous large trees.

Leaf drop-offs will be for Residents only (no Commercial drop-off). The only location designated this year will be at the parking area on Second Street behind the Woodburn Post Office between Lincoln Street and Grant Street. This area will have staff available, will be gated and rules and regulations will be posted.

With the other locations unavailable, the Maintenance Division will have pick-up days for Seniors who are unable to make drop-offs. Scheduling must be made in advance. Pick-up times are from 8:00 AM-11:30 AM on Fridays on the following dates: November 13th & 20th and December 11th & 18th. Please, contact our Maintenance Division office at (503)982-5236.
