Leaf Collection Program Guidelines:

The following conditions apply to the Leaf Collection Program:

  1. Approved Bags and Containers: Leaves must be placed in paper bags or rigid containers no larger than 32 gallons and weighing no more than 30 pounds. Biodegradable bags and reusable containers are acceptable.
  2. Container Labeling: All containers must be labeled “Yard Debris.”
  3. Grass Clippings: Grass clippings may be placed in containers that also contain leaves.
  4. Prohibited Materials: Heavy materials, including rocks, dirt, animal waste, sod, cinders, and similar materials, will not be collected.
  5. Loose Leaves in Streets: Loose leaves must not be placed in the street, as they may clog the stormwater system and create hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians.
  6. Street Clearance: Streets must be kept clear and unobstructed. Piles of leaves must not be placed in the street.
