City Leaf Pick-Up Starts Today

Oct. 24, 2016

Traverse City's fall leaf collection program kicks off today (Monday). City crews will pick up leaves in city neighborhoods beginning on the west side of the city and moving eastward over a period of 5-7 weekdays. Crews will then return to the west side to repeat the process. Pick-up will continue through November 18.

The following guidelines apply to leaf pick-up:

> Leaves should be in loose piles or biodegradable paper bags. No plastic bags are allowed.
> On curb & gutter streets, rake leaves down into street. Do not block catch basins.
> On all other streets, rake leaves to gravel shoulder or paved edge of the road.
> No leaves will be picked up in alleys, except homes along Division Street, East Front Street from Railroad Avenue to Munson Avenue, and Munson Avenue from East Front Street to Airport Access Road.
> No branches or brush will be picked up. Do not put them out for pick-up.
> Do not park vehicles over leaf piles in city streets.
