Leaf Pick Up Guidelines

  • Leaves need to be piled in the boulevard or as close to the street as possible, but no in the street on on the sidewalk.

  • Please do not park vehicles in front of leaf piles, where our leaf machines cannot get to the leaves.

  • No other material such as branches, brush or trash can be picked up by the leaf machine.

  • No bags will be accepted.

  • Remember, by law, the regular refuse collection is not allowed to pick up leaves or any other yard waste.

  • Per City Ordinance 521.12: No person shall deposit, permit or allow any grass clippings, shrub or bush trimmings, flowers or any material on any street or alley which might wash into or clog any storm sewer.
