The program is for routine maintenance, not for lot clearing. Excessive piles will not be collected. Leaves may be bagged or raked to the curb line, but may not be placed in the street. Placing leaves in the street is not only prohibited per the state and local regulations governing stormwater (leaves in the street allow debris to filter into the storm sewers) but also can cause hazardous travel on roads for cars and pedestrians. Grass clippings are not collected. Branches should be stacked for easy chipping, all facing one direction. Stickers should be stacked separately. Piles of mixed debris will not be collected.
The dates listed above are when residents should have their branches/leaves out by. It does not mean that the debris will be collected on that date, it means that DPW will be starting in that zone on that date. If DPW has come through your zone (your street) already, please refrain from repiling leaves until closer to the next pick-up date for your zone.
