Fall Leaf Collection Service Guidelines

Please rake leaves into a pile at the curb. When the leaves are in piles City crews can move more quickly through the neighborhoods.
Where possible, avoid piling leaves where cars are parked or where tree limbs make access difficult.
Please remove tree limbs, rocks, bricks and any other debris that might be mixed in with leaves. These materials damage the equipment and will cause service delays.
If you have bagged leaves, place them at the curb and call the Leaf Line at 224-2429 to schedule pick up.
The vacuum motor on the leaf trucks generates noise and a certain amount of dust. The City replaces dust filters as often as possible, but if the season is dry it is nearly impossible to eliminate dust. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will continue to do our best to control dust.
To prevent leaf fires during the week of Halloween, please consider bagging leaves or waiting until after Halloween to rake out your leaves.
The crews work on a tight schedule, so once they complete a pass in your neighborhood they cannot come back until the next scheduled pass. Each neighborhood will receive 10 passes.
