2024 LEAF COLLECTION SCHEDULE:
The Public Works Department has begun the annual leaf collection. Leaf collection started on Monday, September 30, 2024, and will go through Friday, December 6, 2024.
We ask that residents observe the following guidelines when placing leaves at the curb:
- No leaf collection will be made in alleys.
- Do not place any foreign materials, such as rocks, toys, boards, tree trimmings, garden waste, flower stalks, in leaves to be collected. If any such items are present, the leaf pile will not be collected. Foreign material in leaf piles can cause injuries to the workers and can damage the equipment.
- Grass clippings will not be collected. Grass clippings can be taken to the Recycling Center during operating hours.
The Public Works Department will make every effort to adhere to the schedule shown below. Inclement weather and the quantity of leaves will determine whether it is possible for the Public Works Department to stay on scheduled. We are asking for your cooperation during this challenging season ahead.
Please trim trees to a height of 12 feet above the cartway to allow clearance for leaf trucks. Place basketball nets so they do not extend beyond the curb to avoid contact with the leaf-picking equipment.
