Free bagged leaf and yard waste collection program concludes December 12
The third and final bulk curbside leaf collection cycle will begin Monday, November 17. Residents are reminded to rake leaves into the street – next to the curb in front of a house, avoiding storm drains and leaving a clear path for water to flow to storm drains – by 6AM on November 17.
Residents can check the progress of the final cycle via an interactive map at www.naperville.il.us/leafcollection.aspx. Once crews have completed the final collection in an area, all remaining leaves must be bagged for pickup through the bagged leaf and yard waste collection program, which will end for the year on December 12, 2014. Yard waste collection will begin again on March 16, 2015.
To participate in the bagged leaf and yard waste collection program, fill 32-gallon paper yard waste bags with leaves and other yard waste. Leaves and yard waste placed in paper yard waste bags will not require stickers from now through December 12. Branches and other yard waste that are tied into bundles require a sticker at all times. There is a 60 pound maximum per bag. Please be aware that wet leaves will add to the weight of the bag. Place the bags at the curb by 6 a.m. on your normal trash collection day.
