Each year, the Department of Public Works picks up leaves which have fallen during the fall season. Since not all trees loose their leaves at the same time, we have tried to lengthen our season to accommodate those residents with various types of trees. In order to collect leaves more effectively, Village crews started picking up leaves once a week in 1999.
Every residence now has six scheduled pick-ups.
The Fall Palatine News Letter will be delivered before leaf collection starts. Please check the map to determine which pick-up section your home is in. Then check the pickup table to see what day of the week your leaves will be pickup. From the first pickup week to the last pickup week, your leaves will always be picked up on that same day of the week. The only exception to this rule is the week with the Thanksgiving holiday.
