Spring leaf collection begins in the CENTRAL area on March 17th! All leaves must be placed at the front curb area (not in the alley) by Sunday night to be collected. For example, leaves must be raked curbside by Sunday, March 16th for the CENTRAL area, Sunday, March 23rd for the EAST area and by Sunday, March 31th for the WEST area.
City trucks pick-up leaves in each area the entire week and make only one pass on each each street. Please be sure that access is not blocked by parked vehicles. Call the Public Works and Parks Department at 314-505-8560, to confirm your area.
Rake only leaves curbside. Gumballs, small branches, plantings, shrubbery, and other yard type debris will not be removed. These items should be placed in a yard waste bag (with the required sticker) for removal on the regular trash and recycling collection day.
