2011 Yard Debris Collection Information


LEAF COLLECTION

Collection dates: October 17 - December 9

  • Our crews will be in your neighborhood approximately every two weeks to collect loose leaf piles. Consolidating small piles of leaves into larger piles will help expedite leaf pick up. During this time, crews will continue to pick up yard debris every week if it is placed in a bag/container and separated from your leaf piles.  It is important to keep leaves and yard debris separated, as yard debris can damage our leaf vacuum.  Please note that loose brush will not be picked up during this time.
  • Leaves are collected by quadrant (NW, NE, SE, SW). Crews move clockwise throughout the town. Quadrant maps and street lists are displayed at the bottom of this page.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

  • Place yard debris behind the curb or gutter to avoid blocking drainage pathways or impeding traffic flow in your neighborhood.
  • Material for pickup must be out by 6AM on your scheduled collection day.
  • If you live on a private drive, take materials to the nearest public street.
  • We cannot collect stumps, rocks, stones, metal, lumber, plastics, glass, fencing or waste materials. PLEASE NO SOD.
  • Our schedule may vary slightly due to weather conditions and volume of debris.  We appreciate your patience.
  • Materials generated by landscape professionals must be removed as part of their service. 
    This material may be taken to Pittsford's Highway Department, 60 Golf Avenue, weekdays from 7 AM to 4:30 PM.
