As a part of the Solid Waste Services provided in
the Village, crews collect loose, un-bagged leaves
directly from your curb or roadside. To have your leaves collected, please follow the steps below.
• Identify your collection zone on the map at the
right. Then see the schedule to determine your
collection dates.
• To prepare your leaves, rake your loose, fallen
leaves into a pile at your curb or on your
roadside by 7:00 a.m. on your collection dates.
Because leaves are collected with a vacuum,
they must be piled loose.
• Please keep leaves off of the asphalt.
• Residents with curbs and gutters, place loose
leaves on the grass by your curb.
• Residents with a ditch line, place loose leaves
on the grass along the roadside of the ditch.
• Leaves must be within six feet of the road.
• Bagged leaves or grass, branches and other
yard waste will not be collected.
• Do not mix other yard waste, such as
potted/garden plants or branches, into
your pile of leaves. Doing so can damage the leaf collection vacuum and may cause costly delays. Leaves mixed with other yard waste will not be collected.
Please keep in mind that though collection staff abides
