IT’S LEAF PICK-UP TIME AGAIN!!!
Fall is once again upon us and with that leaves are beginning to drop. The City’s Leaf Pick-up Program officially starts in November and will continue through December 19, 2025.
REMEMBER:
This is for LEAVES ONLY, no grass, animal droppings, tree limbs, rocks or household garbage will be picked up. If you find that your leaves were not picked up it could be for one of these reasons.
The City has a leaf vacuum and would like to utilize it as much as possible. All piles of leaves should be in an area accessible within the reach of the 6-foot vacuum hose; not behind fences, on the sidewalk or in the gutter. We have found that raking your leaves onto a tarp and pulling it out to the front of your property works well. Also, WET LEAVES are hard for the vacuum to pick-up, cover them with a tarp or plastic to keep them dry.
PLEASE DO NOT RAKE THE LEAVES INTO OPEN DITCHES, GUTTERS OR STORM DRAINS!
The City will pick up leaves in bags, although this is not preferred. Please make sure your bags are at least 1.5 mil thick and no larger than 33-gallon in size. The City will no longer provide bags.
A sure way to tell if the bag is the right size and not filled to full is if you cannot pick up the bag after you have filled it, it is most likely too heavy for our staff to pick up.
This is just another attempt the City makes to keep our Storm Drains clear and flowing freely during the winter months.
