Due to current temperature trends and the amount of leaves still on trees, General Services staff will be conducting curbside leaf collection from December 2nd to January 31st, weather permitting. To help staff collect all the leaves set out by the public this season, included below are the participant guidelines.
Participant Guidelines and Information:
Rake and pile leaves between the curb and sidewalk. If no sidewalk
exists, pile leaves directly behind the curb. Staff will not be picking
up bags nor collecting leaves in the alleys, on private streets, or
commercial properties.
✓ Leaf piles will not be collected if mixed with other debris. Tree limbs
and branches will not be collected.
✓ Don’t rake or blow leaves into the street as this can be a hazard to
traffic and is a violation of City Code. Additionally, placing leaves in
the street may cause problems for our storm drainage systems.
✓ Don’t park vehicles directly in front of or behind leaf piles, as this
makes collection more difficult for our crew.
✓ Have your leaves ready for collection on the first day of the schedule
for your respective zone.
✓ There will only be one round of curbside leaf collection in each zone;
however, customers may call in to report locations if they feel they
may have been missed by the leaf collection crew or when weather
conditions or late leaf deposits require additional collection.
✓ Leaf collection will not be conducted within alleys, private streets, or
for commercial properties.
