Leaf Collection
The City of Glendale will once again pick up leaves beginning mid October through November (contingent upon the weather) provided the following procedures are followed:
- Leaves raked to the curb and gutter, and road shoulder areas will be collected by the City of Glendale Department of Public Works.
- Leaves should not be placed around obstacles such as mailbox posts, sign posts and light poles.
- Crews will not pick up leaves mixed with debris, logs, branches, rocks, plastic, metal or glass containers or any other type of refuse.
- Leaves should not be placed on City cul-de-sacs, vacant land or City property except on the public right-of-way along the curb and gutter, and road shoulder areas.
Roadways with Curbs and Gutters
Leaves should be placed on the pavement on the roadside of the curb. To prevent street flooding, do not place leaves on top of storm sewer grates.
Roadways with Shoulders
Leaves should be placed on the shoulder of the road in long narrow piles and not extend into the roadway creating traffic hazards.
Roadways with Ditches
Leaves should be placed no farther than 4 feet from the edge of the pavement, but in no event shall they extend into the water flow line of ditch.
Alley Collection
Leaf collection will not be made from "dead end" or "no outlet" alleys.
*The City of Glendale encourages residents to mulch leaves. For more information on leaf mulching, please view here.
