Advisory

2026 Zoned Leaf Vacuuming

Curbside loose-leaf collection is on a bi-weekly, zoned pick-up schedule from October 5 to December 11, 2026. The City is divided into two (2) pick-up zones: Zone 1 starts October 5 and Zone 2 starts October 12. Visit this map and view the dates below to determine your pick-ups.

All leaf piles must be placed within 4 feet of the roadway edge or curbing by 7:00 AM on the Monday of each zone collection week. Flood Brothers will collect leaves from every residential property in each 1-week period, with a total of five (5) pick-ups per zone.

This service is performed utilizing trucks with specially designed vacuum equipment. Leaf piles must be within 4 feet of the roadway edge or curbing and must be free of brush/branches/rocks as these damage the equipment. Do not place leaf piles on the pavement or in drainage ditches. Cars cannot be parked in the roadway when these collections are being made. Clear access to the curb line or roadside must be maintained in order to properly collect the leaves. Pick-ups may be delayed due to heavy leaf falls and/or heavy rainfalls.

For more information, please visit the City's website or contact Flood Brothers Disposal at 630-261-0400.
