Leaf Season Tips

/

The City of New Albany is in LEAF SEASON! Our crews will be out collecting piles of leaves throughout November and December. This year, the leaves have started falling a little later than normal, so Stormwater crews will be working extra shifts over the next week to help keep our city looking its best!

 To help us keep our city clean and our stormwater infrastructure flowing, please check out these helpful tips for Leaf Season!

What to do for leaf pickup:

  • Rake leaves to the end of your yard.

  • Ensure leaves are in piles behind the curb or edge of the property

  • Place leaves near the curb before 7:00 AM on the Monday of your scheduled collection week.

What NOT to do:

  • Please do not place leaves in the street, as they present a safety hazard and a flooding concern when leaves are washed into storm drains.

  • Try to avoid placing leaf piles near mailboxes, trees, lights, or signs.

  • Please separate all trash, branches, or twigs from leaf piles.

  • Keep leaves out of stormwater drains, ditches, and stream banks to prevent blockages and environmental harm.
