The collection dates are as follows:

1st Round
Zone 1 - November 7th through November 10th (Veterans Day Nov. 11th)

City Staff would like to remind citizens of these important points:
· Leaves need to be raked to the curb BEFORE the Monday on your pick up week. Crews could be at your curb anytime during that week and will travel each street only once.
· It is very important that cars are not parked in the leaf pick up area. Crews cannot reach a leaf pile if a car is parked within 10 feet.
· Piles have to contain leaves only! Leafing equipment cannot pickup sticks, limbs or trash.

Residents may also notice leaf crews picking up leaves the week of November 1st . This is the week that the leafing machines are tested and tuned up. Crews may pick up leaves that are already at the curb to test the machines. Leaf crews will go back to the test areas during the scheduled weeks.
