Leaf Vacuuming

Leaf Pile

Leaf vacuuming begins in November and will run through the end of March. Each street  throughout the town will be vacuumed and then we will start the process again. Routs may vary, and due to the number of homes in the town and other obligations Public Works has, it may be several weeks between stops at your address. 

In order to assist us in making this program more efficient and timely, please refer to the following:

  • Piles should consist of leaves only. Limbs, rocks, pinecones and other items can damage vacuum machines and equipment. If these are observed within your pile of leaves, they will not be vacuumed. NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • Leaf piles must be raked to the edge of the street. Equipment cannot reach piles that are not adjacent to the street. Please do not rake leaves into the street, as this can create a road hazard.
  • Please DO NOT place leaves in ditches or into storm drains. This leads to storm drain blockages.
  • Please allow room for our large equipment. DO NOT park on or near leaf piles. If this occurs, the leaves will not be vacuumed.
  • Vacuuming service will be suspended on inclement weather days, and will resume as soon as weather permits. Wet leaves will not be able to be vacuumed.
  • Please understand, even if you do call and have a work order put in for leaf pickup, Public Works may have other obligations and may not be available to get to your leaf pile right away. We are working as quickly as possible to collect all of the leaf piles. We appreciate  your patience and understanding  while we work to conduct this service in a timely manner.
