Leaf Collection October 26–November 20, 2026

Next date: Monday, October 26, 2026 | 06:30 AM to Friday, November 20, 2026 | 03:00 PM

Leaf collection begins on Monday, October 26, 2026, and continues through Friday, November 20, 2026. Crews will be deployed across the city, each responsible for a specific section. After completing their designated areas, teams will aid others until the entire city has had one round of collection. Subsequently, they will return to their initial sections to begin the process anew. Crews will attempt up to four rounds of city-wide collection as weather permits. Additional information and a map to follow our crew can be found on our leaf collection page.

For Ease of Collection:

• Leaves must be placed in a pile on the boulevard, within 3 feet of the curb line. Pickup does NOT coincide with your garbage or recycling collection day. Please see additional placement and compliance information by going to our Municipal Code page.

• Do not park in front of the piles as this slows down collection time. If you see a truck working, wait until they are done or park behind them. It will take them a moment to clear the leaves and continue on.

• Do not put leaf piles into the street, gutter, or over catch basins. It prevents clogging the storm drain. The stormwater coordinator will contact residents directly about this issue.

• Do not pile leaves around trees or poles.

• Leaves that are mixed with brush or dirt, covered, bagged, or placed on tarps will not be collected.
