The Public Works Department staff continues conducting curbside leaf collection from December 16th 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.
