Spring Leaf Pick- Up
Leaves
must be piled in the parkway in front of your home, up on the curb.
There will be no leaf pick-up in alleys.
Please place the leaves in a
row parallel to the street.
It is important not to put leaves in the street as they can block storm sewers and lead to flooding.
This
is a leaf pick-up only. No bags or boxes. Continue to use yard waste
bags for grass clippings and garden debris to be picked up separately by
Waste Management on your regular pick-up day.
Vehicles parked in front of leaf piles may prohibit pick-up. We encourage you to move vehicles as needed.
If you have any questions, please call the Public Works Department at 1-815-476-3104
