It seems that it's because you're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting.

In comparison, my settings.py is something like:

# Static asset configuration
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '../myapp/static')

You should set the STATICFILES_DIRS too (note that my conf for this var is probably not the same than yours)

Then, push your code and try again. If it still doesn't work, you can use this to debug : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets#debugging
