Leaf Collection Do's and Don't's

To ensure collection of your loose leaves, please note directions by Public Works

• Only loose leaves will be collected.
• It is important the leaves are raked into a long line at the curb so the leaf vacuums can collect them.
• Leaves must be free of trash and other yard debris such as tree limbs, rocks, mulch, hedge trimmings and grass clippings.
• Avoid piling leaves in front of storm drains, hydrants or on top of utility accesses (water meters, irrigation systems, etc.).
• Avoid piling leaves in front of mailboxes, utility poles and guywires.
• Do not block traffic lanes or create line-of-sight hazards for motorists.
• Put no more than 50 pounds of grass and other yard debris, like hedge trimmings, in plastic yard bags for weekly pickup throughout the year.
• Brush will be collected separately throughout the year.  Collection of brush may be delayed during leaf season.
