Non-essential City of Kalamazoo offices will be closed on Wednesday, December 24, and Thursday, December 25, in observance of Christmas. Regular hours will resume on Friday, December 26.
Leaf pickup is temporarily paused while crews focus on clearing snow from our streets. We’ll resume collection as soon as possible and continue through December 23. Thank you for your patience!
A good shake could save your mailbox! Each winter, mailboxes across the county can be damaged during winter maintenance operations due to the weight of the snow coming off the plow blade. The Road Commission of Kalamazoo County, the City of Kalamazoo, and the City of Portage are teaming up for "Shake Your Mailbox Day." On Saturday, October 28, take a few minutes to make sure that your mailbox can withstand the snow. Tighten the screws that secure your mailbox to the post, replace loose hinges on the mailbox door, and ensure that the post is secure in the ground. Now is also a good time to replace or add reflective house numbers to ensure that first responders can easily find your house in an emergency.
