🍁LEAF PICKUP
Zone 1, it’s your time to leaf your mark!
Leaf pickup starts Monday, November 17. So grab that rake, crank up some fall tunes, and get those leaves to the edge of your property before the big day!

Once the leaf trucks pass through, they’re gone like pumpkin spice lattes in January.

🍁LEAF PICKUP
Hey Zone 2 — don’t get left leaf-hanging!
Your leaf pickup begins Wednesday, November 19. Make sure your leaves are at the edge of your property the night before so our crews can swoop in and clear them away.

We’re making just one pass, so don’t wait for a second chance. This is your leaf moment!
