City of Rochester
News Release
(Monday,
Oct. 22, 2018) — The City’s Department of Environmental Services’ (DES)
annual Fall Loose Leaf Collection Program starts next Monday, Oct. 29, and will
continue through Nov. 23.
The leaf collection schedule and map
can be found on the City’s Loose Leaf Collection Program web page at www.cityofrochester.gov/leaves.
Residents can also check the “At Your Service” guides, which were mailed earlier
this month.
Guides are also available at City
Neighborhood Service Centers, and online at http://www.cityofrochester.gov/atyourserviceguide/.
To ensure the most efficient
collection of leaves, residents should rake loose leaves into a pile between
the sidewalk and the curb before the Monday of their scheduled collection week.
It is dangerous, and therefore illegal to rake leaves into the street. Leaves
may also be bagged for collection on residents’ regular refuse collection days.
Loose leaves can also be dropped off at Ferrano and Colfax Streets.
Residents may call 311 for more
information.
