ANNUAL FALL LEAF COLLECTION
The City Department of Public Works crews will be picking up loose leaves beginning in October. Leaves will also be picked up in clear plastic bags during the Fall Pickup only. This bag pick-up will continue until Christmas. Clear plastic bags are necessary to protect the leaves from the elements (freezing rain and snow) during collection. Although the City’s Annual Leaf Collection transpires in the Fall, leaves will be collected in the spring if mixed with yard waste and placed in open top containers.
The schedule for Fall leaf collection will be released through the media.
In order to ensure loose leaves are collected, leaves must be placed behind the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the Monday morning of your area’s pick-up.
Leaves are to be placed between the curb and sidewalk. Please do not rake leaves into the street. Keep storm water drains and fire hydrants free of leaves.
Please do not mix brush and other debris with loose leaves. These items plug the machine or may cause mechanical failure resulting in delays to the pick-up schedule.
Mulching your leaves with a lawn mower or other mulching device prior to bagging can reduce leaf volumes. 10 bags of loose leaves equals 1 bag of mulched leaves.
