Fall is approaching, which means our annual fall leaf collection is just around the corner! Here’s what you need to know, along with some Do’s and Don’ts:

Leaf Collection Dates:

• Start Date: October 23, 2023

• End Date: December 1, 2023

Do’s:

• Rake leaves to the curb by Monday at 7 a.m. each week during collection season. Collection may not necessarily occur on the same day every week.

• If you have a landscaper, discuss your options and notify them of the leaf pickup schedule before the season begins. Some landscapers may charge up to $20/week extra to haul away leaves. You may experience a net-savings because of the Village’s leaf collection program by simply asking your landscaper to place leaves along your parkway and not haul them away.

Don’ts:

• Do not place leaves in the street. This creates hazardous driving conditions, clogs storm sewers causing localized flooding, and violates the Village Code.

• Do not mix brush, garden waste, tree limbs, vines, or other yard waste with the leaves. These materials can lead to equipment failure and/or injury and must be properly disposed of through the Village’s weekly curbside composting program.

• Do not block access to the leaves with cars or other obstructions. If the truck/vacuum cannot access the leaves, they cannot remove them.
