Yard Waste & Leaf Pickup

CURBSIDE LEAF COLLECTION ROUTE

Curbside leaf collection is underway.  Please be aware of the following guidelines to help make this process more efficient.  Only leaves should be pushed to the curbside for collection.  Be sure to place all leaves at the curb by November 30, 2018.  Final leaf pickup will begin on December 1, 2018.

1. The map below is updated regularly to show where crews are located.
2. Several passes are made during leaf season. Please note leaf pick up will be dictated by workload and leaf volumes.
3. On-street parking during this period can slow progress. Limited parking in the streets is appreciated. When on street parking is necessary, as a precautionary measure, please avoid areas where leaves have been raked into piles.
4. Please note collection on 11 Mile, Catalpa, and Greenfield may deviate from this map.
5. Dispose of grass, branches, etc., by placing them in paper yard waste bags or marked containers for weekly disposal,  on your regular trash pick up day. The final pick up day for other yard debris is November 30, 2018. 

YARD WASTE

Yard waste and leaf pickup guidelines change periodically throughout the year. During the yard waste pickup season, residents are encouraged to put yard waste out by 7 AM on the scheduled trash collection day using paper yard waste bags or 35-gallon cans marked "YARD WASTE."

Please note: when using cans, please make sure the "YARD WASTE" label is facing the street and is set aside from other trash containers.  Bags/cans should not weigh more than 50 pounds.  Please note that plastic bags containing yard waste will NOT be collected.
