Leaf Collection Information

Curbside leaf pickup is provided once EVERY OTHER WEEK. Please check carefully for the pickup dates for your area.

You will need to:

bulletRake ONLY leaves to the cub (no grass clippings, branches or other non-leaf material).
bulletRake rows of leaves INTO the street – about 12 inches away from the curb to allow rainfall to flow down the curb and into the storm inlet.
bulletHave your leaves raked into the street and ready for pickup by 7:00 a.m. on your pickup day, but NO EARLIER than 4:00 p.m. THE DAY BEFORE your scheduled pickup.

If there are no curbs:

bulletIf your street does not have curbs, line up your row of leaves on the pavement as close to the shoulder of the road as possible in order to leave the maximum amount of street surface open for vehicles. Leaves should be ON the pavement – NOT in the ditch.

  Please DO NOT:

bulletDo not rake leaves into drainage ditches or over storm inlets in the street to help prevent flooding the street.
bulletDo not rake any non-leaf material into the street. For the safety of our personnel and machinery, piles with any debris other than leaves will be left at the curb.
