Beginning this year, MDC Environmental Services will be responsible for the annual leaf pick-up program. From October 3, 2011 through December 16, 2011, MDC crews will collect bagged leaves placed at the curbside in front of all residents’ homes along public streets. The bags must be placed on the parkway before 7:00 a.m. on the normal trash collection day. The Leaf Pick-Up Program is being offered at no additional fee.
Leaves must be placed in biodegradable paper bags in order to be collected. Paper leaf bags are available at local grocery and hardware stores. Neither the City nor MDC provides leaf bags.
There is a 50 pound maximum per bag. Be aware that wet leaves will add to the weight of the bag. Leaves placed in other containers such as plastic bags, garbage cans or boxes, or in bags too large for one person to handle, cannot be accepted.
Leaves in non-paper bags may be taken to the Brush Drop-Off site, located at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2, at 1100 Coventry Lane (near the intersection of Dartmoor Drive and Coventry Lane), on the first and third Saturday of October and November from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. At the Brush Drop-Off site, it is the residents’ responsibility to remove the leaves and brush from their vehicles. Any containers or bags used to transport the leaves and brush cannot be left at the site.
Questions regarding the Leaf Pick-Up Program can be directed to MDC Environmental Services at (815) 568-7274 or the Crystal Lake Street Division at (815) 356-3700 ext. 4019.
