Overview
With more than 35,850 trees, it is no wonder that University City is often called the "Tree City." To maintain the attractiveness of the City, once these trees have shed their leaves, the Street Maintenance Division conducts city- wide leaf collections during the fall and spring each year. The program runs f or three weeks in the spring and nine weeks in the fall. Yard waste bags are not required. Residents can rake the leaves to the curbline for collection during scheduled leaf collection periods.
Directions
To ensure prompt service, leaves must be raked to the curb line the day before collection begins in your area. To check for collection dates in your area, refer to the schedule below or look for the red and white banners in your area announcing collection times. Yard waste bags are not required if you choose to rake the leaves to the curb line for collection by University City during scheduled leaf collection periods. In addition, leaf bag stickers are NOT required from October 15th - December 31st.
