Residential Leaf Collection Information
Loose leaf collection starts October 21st and will continue until Thanksgiving. Here are some tips to make sure you're ready for collection!
🍁It is not necessary to contact City Hall with your property address. Crews will canvas the entire City as time and weather allows during this period.
🍁Do not place leaves in the street because they can block storm sewers and cause flooding. Piles of leaves in the street also are a dangerous attraction for children.
🍁Bagged leaves will not be collected by the Department of Public Works.
🍁Brush and leaves should be placed in separate piles to help speed up the collection process.
🍁Refrain from placing leaves next to trees, poles, mailboxes, or other obstructions which may slow down the collection process and/or cause damage to equipment or the obstruction.
Residents may bring bagged or contained leaves, grass clippings and garden waste to the compost site at the City Garage, located at 908 Maple Street (behind Kwik Trip). Residents also are able to pick up wood chips or compost at no charge when available. The yard waste site is open to City of Chilton residents only.
