Collection Guidelines:

  • Place leaves at the edge of your yard, just behind the curb.
  • Do not place leaves in the street or on sidewalks.
  • Keep leaf piles free of sticks, limbs, or other debris.
  • Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles.
  • Keep leaves away from storm drains and water meters.


Please note that loose-leaf collection is weather-dependent. Updates and seasonal details are shared on the City’s website each year prior to the start of the program.

Landscape contractors are responsible for removing any leaf piles they create. Residents should coordinate directly with their contractor as needed.
