Leaf Collection

LEAF PICKUP SCHEDULE

Leaf pickup for Round Two is scheduled to begin the week of November 30. Please click here to see a map of the entire Township divided into Zones 1 – 26.

Below is the schedule we have laid out. Please have your leaves out a couple of days early in case we are ahead of schedule. Leaves will be collected in inclement weather, depending on the severity. This will, however, slow down the process which will delay pickup.

Your leaves cannot be collected if there are sticks and twigs mixed in. This damages our equipment. Also, please do not park any vehicles near leaf piles.

Please feel free to contact Public Works at 267-274-1130 with any questions or concerns.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
