Leaf Collection Guidelines:

Do not place leaves or yard debris in the street. This is a violation of City Ordinance 531.03 Littering.
Leaves must be placed within six (6) feet of the curb* by 7:00 am on the first scheduled pick-up day in your zone. This time will be strictly enforced.
*For residents on Cedar Point Road (Chaussee), leaves must be placed on the South side of the street; leaves piled on the North (lake) side will not be collected.
Pick-up is for leaves only—no sticks or other yard waste.
Leaves placed behind parked cars will not be collected. Property owners are encouraged to coordinate on-street parking with neighbors during their collection dates.
You are allowed to bag your leaves in paper bags. Leaves in plastic bags will not be collected.

Piles that fail to meet these guidelines will be marked with an X in paint. A notice will be left at the door and the address will be noted by driver.

There will be a leaf drop-off area near the Marquette Drive entrance to the City Service Center seven (7) days a week from October 24 – January 20 for those who miss their scheduled pick-up or have additional leaves for disposal. Leaves must be placed in paper bags for drop-off.
