Curbside Leaf Collection Program will not begin until October 20, 2014. Please bag your leaves until then.
“The City of Grosse Pointe Farm’s Curbside Leaf Collection Program will not begin until October 20, 2014. Until that time you must bag your leaves.”
Once city leaf collection starts to take place on Oct. 20th here are a few Do's & Don'ts:
1) Do not park in the street during collection day- leaf piles that are
inaccessible cannot be collected. Due to equipment and manpower
demands, there will be no “special pick-ups” for leaf piles that are
obstructed by a vehicle, or put out after crews have passed by.
2) Do not put leaves in the street until prior to 5pm the night before your collection day, but they may be stored at the curb, up to 4 feet from the curb.
3) Do not allow children to play in leaf piles near the street. It may be fun forthem, but it puts kids in extreme danger from passing vehicles.
4) Do separate brush from leaf piles. This way, the brush can be collected and loaded by hand.
5) Do exercise caution when driving around our leaf collection crews. Our City has many narrow streets, dead ends and cul-de-sacs that are challenging for crews to maneuver on.
6) Contractors are expected to remove their own debris.
7) As always once the loose leaf collection begins it will be the business day after your rubbish collection.
Your cooperation in following these requests will help our DPW workers do their jobs safely and efficiently. Thank you.
