Leaf Pick Up Program

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LEAF COLLECTION

• Leaf piles must be clear of sticks, branches, logs & other debris; Grass clippings, Ornamental grasses, flower potting material, branches, pumpkins &; gourds cannot be picked up. Residents are encouraged to bring those items to the Auten Road Dump Site;
• Leaves should not block traffic; 
• Leaves should not be piled near intersection corners; this causes sight issues for motorists/ bicyclists/ pedestrians;
• Keep leaf piles clear of drainage ways &  catch basins; blocked drainage leads to localized flooding;
• Leaves should not be piled around mailboxes, power poles, fences, fire hydrants, basketball hoops or other obstacles;
• Do not park on leaf piles; the heat from a vehicle exhaust system could start a fire.
