Please Remember the Following When Preparing Your Loose Leaves For Curbside Collection
- Our vacuum trucks are designed for loose leaves only. Please separate tree trimmings, shrubs, and other types of yard debris from your loose leaves. These items will be picked up on your scheduled yard waste collection day along with any bagged leaves.
- Leaves need to be raked to the curb and not in the street.
- Please keep leaf piles away from fire hydrants and water meter boxes.
Not Sure About Your Leaf Collection Section or Yard Waste Day?
If you are unsure of your leaf collection section or scheduled yard waste day, you can look them up by using the Find My Service button on the City Services or Neighbors pages. Just enter your address in the Find My Service area on the right side of the page and select submit to determine your leaf collection section, recycling, solid waste and yard waste collection days, as well as other useful information.
Didn't Get Your Leaves to the Curb in Time?
- Crews will make a second pass through the City after New Year's Day.
- Citizens who receive loose leaf curbside service can have their leaves picked up year-round on their scheduled yard waste collection day. Leaves must be placed in clear plastic bags, paper bags, or permanent containers. Please visit the Yard Waste Preparation page for more information on preparing yard waste for collection.
