Bagged leaf pickup through December 24

Rogue Disposal & Recycling's 2026 leaf program runs November 2–December 24 at no charge for addresses inside Medford, Central Point and Phoenix city limits, plus its White City service area. Use heavy-duty black plastic bags of up to 33 gallons and 40 pounds each. Put leaves only in the bags, seal them against rain and set them at the curb; where there is no curb, place bags within 8 feet of the road. There is no bag-count limit.

Medford: check the operator's neighborhood map for your pickup week and have bags out by 6:30 a.m. Monday of that week; collection may occur later in the week. Central Point: November 16–18 and December 11. Phoenix: December 7. White City service area: December 9. Weather can delay routes. Mobile home park residents should ask their manager about collection.

For an immediate threat, follow official notices.Maps and feeds can lag. Check your county’s evacuation information and sign up for alerts before you need them. Find county alert systems →

Roads and closures

TripCheck is Oregon’s road map for incidents, closures, construction, weather and cameras. Check the whole route, especially I-5 and the mountain or river roads you plan to use.

For local bus travel, check RVTD routes and schedules ↗. The official map is the final word on a closure.

Smoke and health

Air quality

Oregon DEQ’s live AQI map shows readings at monitoring stations. Select the station nearest your destination; air quality may be different across the valley, especially during smoke events.

The colors above explain AQI ranges; they are not a reading for your location.

Fire season

Wildfire and evacuation information

Use the Oregon fire situation map for larger tracked fires. For evacuation instructions, check your county’s emergency management page and alerts; a state fire map alone does not tell you whether your address is under an order.

Oregon’s Ready, Set, Go evacuation guide ↗ explains the three levels.

Mapped fire perimeters

No local perimeter records matched this layer. A missing perimeter does not mean a fire is contained.

NIFC describes these as working geospatial records that can change. A mapped perimeter is not an evacuation boundary.
