2024 Town of Pittsford leaf collection information

Where are they now? Click to view our Collection Crews' location interactive map from October 21 through December 13

Our crews will be in your neighborhood approximately every three weeks from October 21 - December 13 to collect loose leaf piles. After December 13, leaf collection will be ongoing as needed, no set schedule.

Consolidating small piles of leaves into larger piles will help expedite leaf pick up.

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 or cause injury to crew staff.

 PLEASE NOTE that loose brush and branches and other yard debris must be in a container or paper bag during this time and will be picked up on an ongoing basis (no set schedule) - see the Yard Debris section on our website for information. Please note residential burning of brush and leaves is prohibited in Pittsford.

To help us remove your leaves as quickly as possible, please:

Place loose leaf piles at the edge of the road but not in it. Leaves in the road can become a traffic hazard, especially in windy or rainy weather, and can clog storm water drains and drainage areas, causing flooding.

Separate all sticks, brush, yard clippings and other debris into reusable containers or paper bags. This allows recycling of all materials and helps avoid damage to our leaf vacuum or injury to our crew members.

During this time, sticks, brush and other debris must be placed in bags or containers in order for Town crews to collect it. This is because in the fall our trucks that pick up lose debris in spring and summer are being used for leaf collection. Crews will pick up brush, branches and yard debris (no set schedule) but please remember it must be in bags or containers.

Don’t pile leaves around fire hydrants. Covering hydrants can prevent firefighters from finding them when every second counts. Hidden hydrants are also dangerous for those picking up the leaves as they may be struck, causing injury to crew members or damage to equipment.

It is important to keep leaves and yard debris separated, as yard debris can damage our leaf vacuum or cause injury to crew staff.
