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.
