? Important Reminder: DO NOT place leaves in the street. Depositing leaves on the street is a violation of city code, and violators may be fined.

Guidelines for Leaf Collection:

  • Vehicle Parking: Do not block leaf piles with vehicles during collection times.
  • Collection Timing: Have leaves ready at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your old garbage pick-up day. Collection times may vary depending on leaf volume in other areas of the city.
  • One-Time Pass: The collection truck will only make one pass per neighborhood each week. Leaves left after collection won’t be picked up until the following week.
  • Keep it Leaf-Only: Do not mix leaves with brush, tree limbs, garden waste, vines, lumber, or other materials.
  • Keep Distance: Avoid piling leaves around poles, signs, or mailboxes; leave a 3-foot radius for the vacuum truck.
