Curbside Street Tree Leaf Pick-up ScheduleOur public works crew collects street tree leaves citywide each year in late fall. This year, we will pick up leaves weekly starting October 31 through December (weather-dependent). The focus of the street tree leaf pick-up program is to prevent flooding by collecting leaves that would fall and plug storm catch basins.

Please note that there is no City drop-off site this year so please take them to Recology.

To help us better serve you, please place loose street tree leaves curbside by the first day of the scheduled pick-up. Loose leaves shall be raked into a windrow 18 inches away from the curb to allow storm water to drain along the gutter. Keep leaf windrows less than 3 feet high. Please do not park vehicles, or place refuse bins or any other obstacles near the leaf windrows. Leaves in driveways, grass, rocks or bark dust will not be picked up. Leaves must be in the street on an asphalt surface. Please remember leaves and branches from trees other than street trees need to either be placed in your yard debris bins or taken to Recology Organics.

Please keep in mind that emergencies, severe weather, and light/heavy leaf fall may cause delays in the schedule. We will keep you posted of any changes on the City website and Facebook.

Please continue to use your yard debris bins provided by Garbarino’s for the leaves from your backyard.

Items other than leaves will not be picked up.
