Residential Leaf Pick Up & Brush Drop Off

Contractors / Businesses are not permitted to use the leaf / brush drop off.

​CURBSIDE LEAF PICKUP
November 1st - November 23rd.

Leaves should be raked on to the terrace (grassy area between sidewalk & street).
​
There is no need to call to schedule a pickup, the crews will make at least 2 passes in each ward.

PLEASE DO NOT RAKE YOUR LEAVES IN THE STREET. Leaves spread more easily by cars driving by and rain runoff. This causes the leaves to clog the storm drains and results in street flooding. In addition, this can become dangerous for children who like to play in leaf piles.

The Department of Public Works picks up residential leaves and yard debris twice a year; typically in the months of April and November.  Residents should rake yard debris on the terrace – PLEASE DO NOT BAG YOUR LEAVES OR RAKE YARD DEBRIS IN THE ROAD!  Once scheduled, the dates of leaf / brush pick up will be announced on our website and through a press release.

You may bring your yard debris to the city maintained Brush Drop-off, located on W. Main Street between the Rail Trail and Cayadutta Creek.  Any city resident may bring leaves and yard debris to this location free of charge.  Hours of operation are weekdays and weekends, dawn to dusk.  The Brush drop-off is closed during the winter months.

Questions should be directed to the City Engineer’s Office at (518) 736-4014.
