Allied Waste and Waste Management, the City's two residential garbage service providers, start their seasonal leaf collection service on October 1 of each year. This special service ends on December 31. This time period, October 1 through December 31, is known as "Leaf Season". |
|
How To ParticipateDuring Leaf Season only, your service provider will collect up to (5) additional bags (preferably clear bags) of leaves at no additional charge. Just place the bagged leaves next to your green waste cart on your regular service day. Extra Service stickers are not required for bagged leaves during Leaf Season. Residents are reminded that leaf bags must contain only leaves. If a bag contains leaves mixed with grass trimmings, branches, brush or other non-leaf content, the bag will not be collected without an Extra Service sticker. |

Illegal Leaf PilesPiles of leaves cannot be placed in the streets. In fact, placing piles of leaves in the street or gutter is a violation of the City's Municipal Code and could make you subject to a fine. The only leaves that should be in the street are those that fall there directly from the trees! |
