Fall Leaf Collection

The City makes multiple passes around the City to accommodate all residents. Residents are encouraged to dispose of leaves using a yard waste container on non-collection days. Our Public Works Department uses large equipment to remove the leaves from the street. Items other than leaves can damage the equipment and cause delays for everyone using the service.

Residents may rake leaves into the street gutter, avoiding placement on or near the City drain tops. Loose leaves can block the City sewer lines from working properly. Please do not put bags of leaves, branches, twigs, grass clippings, rocks or other debris in the leaf pile.

Residents on Niles Avenue, Main Street and Lakeshore Drive should bag their leaves in bio-degradable kraft paper yard waste bags rather than placing them in the street gutter. These residents are asked to contact Public Works to arrage for a bagged leaf pickup.

Other residents who bag their leaves are required to purchase and place a Best Way sticker on the bag. Bags should be set out on your regular garbage day for pick-up through the yard waste disposal program provided by Best Way.
