LEAF REMOVAL
Leaf Removal Delays:
We are anticipating completion of Ward 8 and 4 by the end
of this week. Due to delays we are revising the schedule for the remaining wards. The
following schedule is the anticipated starting dates for each of the remaining wards.
Please note that each ward takes numerous days to complete.
- Ward 2- Start Friday November 30
- Ward 9 - Start Tuesday December 4
- Ward 7 - Start Friday December 7
Please make sure that leaves are not in the street until
the day before the scheduled start date for your ward. Please look for signs posted
in your ward indicating the start date for your ward. Crews will continue to work 24
hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week until we have made one round of leaf pickup through the
City.
Resident may use any of their (3) three
annual FREE bulk pickups for leaves if they don't want to wait for the scheduled pickup.
They will need to schedule this through the 311 call center. |

- DO NOT allow children
to play in leaves on or near the street.
- DO NOT place branches or any other debris in the street. (Leaves only)
- DO NOT rake leaves into the street after leaves have been removed from your
street or you will be subject to a fine.
- DO NOT park vehicles on the street the day before your scheduled pick-up,
until your leaves have been removed.
- DO NOT park vehicles over leaves. The heat from the underside of the vehicle
may cause a fire.

year you can choose to rake your leaves to the curb as in the past, or bag them using environmentally-friendly, biodegradable paper leaf
