Fall Leaf Collection
Beginning in October, the Department of Public Works will collect leaves on a scheduled basis using two vacuum units working each weekday from 5:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. We regret any noise made by these vehicles during these long hours of leaf removal. It is difficult to keep up with the volume during peak periods. Your cooperation and patience are appreciated.
You may rake your leaves into the curb and create piles no higher than the curb. Our equipment cannot handle taller piles, and the operator will be forced to drive around your taller leaf pile. Do not mix garden waste into your leaf pile. This will cause the sweeper to break down. Open truck collection of larger leaf piles and garden waste will be held the first week of November.

Place your leaves in the curb the night before or before 5:00 a.m. on the day of collection. Due to the amount of leaves, the schedule may vary. Please take note of the day we are scheduled to be in your district and rake accordingly. If your leaf pile is put out late, the sweeper cannot go back to pick it up.
Leaves may be raked into the street until November 30 or the first measurable snowfall. At all other times, leaves may be disposed of by bringing them in to the drop-off site or by ordering a special collection for which you will be charged.
Fall Yard Waste Pick-Up
During the first week of November the Department of Public Works will pick up yard waste including garden debris, leaves and grass. Plant materials and garden waste can be placed in the curb line for this specific week only. Materials must NOT be in bags. This special collection does NOT include trees, branches or brush.
Crews will follow the regular sweeping schedule of one day in each district. Please mark your calendar and have your yard waste at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. Crews cannot go back to pick up piles that are put out late or in bags.
Yard waste is only permitted on the curb during the fall yard waste pick-up the first week of November.
