Scheduled Leaf Pickup 2026 – November 10 to December 10
During scheduled leaf pickup residents are allowed to pile their household leaves in the street for pickup but you can keep them on your property as useful organic material.
Use them as mulch, a soil amendment, or as winter insulation around the base of sensitive plants. Piles of leaves provide important winter habitat for a variety of insects and pollinators that make your yard healthier. Mulching the leaves right back into your grass as you mow feeds the soil and saves you money on fertilizers.
Resources on how to use your leaves are on the website under “Scheduled Leaf Pickup”.

Scheduled Leaf Pickup 2026 – November 10 to December 10
The best way to know when your neighborhood is about to be picked up is to look at the online Leaf Map that shows which area of town is being actively worked on.

During scheduled leaf pickup it can take 10-14 days for the DPW to complete one circuit of the town, meaning your leaves could be clogging drains and snarling traffic for 2 weeks. If you use a landscaper, show them where to access the leaf map or ask them to remove your leaves themselves.
Go to the home page of the website, choose “Community Map”, and then select “Leaf Map” under “Map Layers”.
