As summer draws to an end, the Public Works Department is preparing for the annual leaf collection.
Leaf collection is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 2, 2023, through Friday, December 8, 2023.
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, etc., in any leaves that are to be collected. The leaf pile will not be collected if any such items are present. Foreign material in leaf piles can cause workers injuries and 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 try to adhere to the schedule below. The Department is dealing with staffing shortages that may create some challenges. Inclement weather and the quantity of leaves will also determine whether it is possible for the Public Works Department to stay on schedule. We are asking for your cooperation during this challenging season ahead.
Please trim trees to a height of 12 inches 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.
