2016 LEAF COLLECTION

Residents will have three (3) options for leaf collection this fall:
1. Put leaves in cans, open containers, or paper bags and place at curbside for Monday collection. Leaves, grass, brush, and garden debris are collected every Monday through December 12. (Must be placed at curb prior to 5 AM)
2. Have your landscaper collect leaves. Landscapers are responsible for disposal of leaves and are not permitted to dump at DPW. If your landscaper plans to blow leaves into the curb they must follow the pickup schedule for your street and pay for a permit to have them vacuumed. View application.
3. You may purchase a permit for $55 to have your leaves vacuumed from the curb.
Leaf Collection Guidelines Participating residents will have their leaves vacuumed at curbside in accordance with the schedule listed below.
• Leaves must be placed in the roadway at curbside. Leaves cannot be put out until the Thursday before your scheduled pickup. They must be put out by 5 AM Monday of your collection week as outlined below.
• Sticks may not be commingled into the leaf piles – they clog the vacuum.
