Once crews pass a home, they will not return until the second round of leaf collection. Second round dates will be announced after the first round is complete.  

What you can do:

The city's guidelines for leaf collection are as follows:

• Leaves need to be loose (not in bags or containers)
• Leaves need to be on the terrace (not in the street or on the sidewalk)
• Only leaves should be in your piles (no other yard waste or trash)
• Avoid placing leaves next to other objects (trees, mailboxes, garbage cans, etc.)
• Avoid parking cars on the road in front of the leaf piles on your expected days of collection.

The city's Drop-Off Center will also accept leaves during leaf season at no charge to residents.
