FALL LEAF COLLECTION SCHEDULE
The City of Jonesville will collect fall leaves for City residents, beginning Monday, October 26th. The Department of Public Works (DPW) will make several passes through town with the leaf vac, with the final collection scheduled for the week of November 16th. We appreciate your help in following these guidelines so that we can provide this service to all residents.

• Leaves may be raked to the edge of the curb or to the shoulder of your street in piles, beginning Monday, October 26th.
• The last leaf collection is scheduled for the week of November 16th. Please rake all leaves to the curb no later than 7:30 a.m. on Monday, November 16th.
• It is difficult to predict when the vac will be in your neighborhood. The speed of the collection is dependent on a number of factors, including the quantity of leaves raked in an area and the weather. Some neighborhoods may get picked up twice in a week and others once every other week, depending upon conditions. A map of the collection areas can be viewed on the City’s website, www.jonesvillemi.gov.
• If the leaf vac passes through your neighborhood before November 16th, there will be a final collection the week of the 16th.
• Be careful to keep leaves away from storm sewer catch basins that can become clogged by leaves, and cause flooding in the event of rain.
• Brush, twigs, rocks, walnuts, and concrete can damage the leaf vac and delay leaf collection. Please separate these and other similar items from leaf piles. Leaves will not be collected if these items are found in the leaf pile.
• Leaf collection is dependent upon the weather and the season. We appreciate your patience if we have to adjust the program and extend the collection season to address conditions.
