The first round of leaf collection for 2023 will begin on October 23, weather permitting. Crews work from east to west across the city.
During the fall season, residents can rake leaves to their tree lawn for collection by the city. The Service Department makes every effort to cover the entire city for leaf pickup every 10 business days. Your tree lawn may suffer some minor damage from leaves left for an extended period of time, but it will rebound.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Do not place leaves in the roadway as it creates a hazard for vehicles and children and can cause flooding.
- Fire hydrants should be unobstructed within three feet.
- Sewer grates and curbs should be kept clear of leaves to allow water drainage.
- Do not park cars in front of leaf piles, because the leaf crews will not be able to collect them.
Once leaf pickup is completed in December, you can place leaves and yard waste in your refuse container for weekly pickup, or plastic garbage bags or cans for the scheduled monthly Bulk Pickup.
