2010 Yard Debris Collection


Each year beginning in March and ending in December, the Town of Pittsford provides a valuable recycling service to residents - the collection of yard debris. In the spring, a brochure is mailed to homeowners to inform them about program guidelines, service dates and descriptions.
If you have questions or concerns about this program, please call the Town of Pittsford Highway Department at 248-6270.

EARLY SPRING CLEANUP

Beginning when the weather breaks and continuing through April 30 

  • Loose piles of leaves, thatch, brush, branches and yard debris will be collected.
    Please note: crews will pick up both loose debris and / or containerized debris during this time.

REGULAR COLLECTION

Collection dates: Loose Brush and Branches: May 3 - Oct 15
                                 Bagged / Containerized: May 3 - Dec 9

  • Please use paper bags or reusable containers.
    Composting sites do not accept plastic bags.
  • Grass clippings, weeds and small yard debris must be placed in a container.
  • Weight must not exceed 50 lbs. per container.
  • Cuttings must be less than 3 feet in length and tied into bundles.
  • Brush and branches may be put in loose piles. 
    They must be less than 8 feet in length and less than 8 inches in diameter.

LEAF COLLECTION

Collection dates: October 18 - December 11

  • Our crews will be in your neighborhood approximately every two weeks to collect loose leaf piles. During this time, crews will continue to pick up yard debris every week if it is placed in a bag/container and separated from your leaf piles.  It is important to keep leaves and yard debris separated, as yard debris can damage our leaf vacuum.  Please note that loose brush will not be picked up during this time.

FREE Mulch

Wood and leaf mulch generated by the Town’s yard debris recycling program are available FREE of charge to residents who visit the East Street storage site adjacent to the Little League fields.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

  • There will  be no collection on Memorial Day (5/31) and Labor Day (9/6). Schedules will shift by one day following the holiday.
  • Place yard debris behind the curb or gutter to avoid blocking drainage pathways or impede traffic flow in your neighborhood.
  • Material for pickup must be out by 6AM on your scheduled collection day.
  • If you live on a private drive, take materials to the nearest public street.
  • We cannot collect stumps, rocks, stones, metal, lumber, plastics, glass, fencing or waste materials.
  • Our schedule may vary slightly due to weather conditions and volume of debris.  We appreciate your patience.
  • Materials generated by landscape professionals must be removed as part of their service. 
    This material may be taken to Pittsford's Highway Department, 60 Golf Avenue, weekdays from 7 AM to 4 PM.
