Guidelines for Curbside Leaf Collection
- Avoid putting leaf piles around obstacles such as vehicles,mailboxes, power lines, guide wires, utility poles and sign posts. Leaf piles will not be collected until relocated.
- Avoid placing leaf piles at least 30 feet from major intersections.
- Place leaf piles along the curb within three (3) feet of the street (do not place leaves in the street) and keep piles short in length. Make piles high rather than long whenever possible.
- Cul-de-sacs will not be serviced where cars are parked and blocking access.
- Avoid putting leaf piles in a ditch or on a curb with running or standing water.
- Leaf piles must be free of branches, grass clippings, garbage, rocks, or any other foreign objects or chemicals.
- Residents should note that ALL areas are scheduled for pickup once per week. Your day of pick-up may vary from week to week due to weather conditions and volume of leaves in each area. To avoid being missed, please keep leaves raked at the curb PRIOR to your scheduled day as the leaf vac may be in your area on days other than your scheduled day.
You may contact the LCSWMD at (219) 853-2420 prior to the start of the collection with any questions.
Please call or text PBS Enterprises AFTER collection begins at (219) 798-5338 with any questions.
