Highway Department Services
LEAF COLLECTION
- Our crews will be in your neighborhood approximately every two weeks to collect loose leaf piles. Consolidating small piles of leaves into larger piles will help expedite leaf pick up. During this time, crews will continue to pick up yard debris every week if it is placed in a bag/container and separated from your leaf piles. It is important to keep leaves and yard debris separated, as yard debris can damage our leaf vacuum or cause injury to crew staff. PLEASE NOTE that loose brush will not be picked up during this time but containerized debris will be (see Yard Debris section below for information).

Composting sites do not accept plastic bags. - Grass clippings, weeds and small yard debris must be placed in a container or paper bag.
