Loose Leaf Reminders Place loose leaves at the curb the day before your scheduled collection or no later than 7 a.m. on the day of collection. Leaves must be placed at the curb or along the ditch line - not in the ditch - in rows parallel with the street. Do not place leaves on the sidewalk. Leaves mixed with limbs, other yard waste, gum balls, gravel, glass or other solid matter will not be collected. These items damage equipment, thus delaying everyone's collection. Leaves in garbage containers will not be collected. Leaves must not be placed near water meters and fences. Place them on the street side of retaining walls. Leaves often make their way to storm drains. Check the drains in your neighborhood and help the City keep them clean by removing the leaves and litter to prevent flooding.
