City of Rochester
News Release
(Friday, Nov. 1, 2019) – City Department of Environmental
Services crews will collect leaves from city streets starting next Monday, Nov.
4. The leaf collection schedule begins one week later than in previous years,
and leaves will be collected over 3 weeks.
Week 1 residents are asked to rake loose leaves into a
pile between the sidewalk and the curb by 7 a.m. Monday. Week 1 includes most
neighborhoods in the Southwest quadrant, along with parts of the Southeast
quadrant.
Residents can view the leaf pickup schedule for their
address by using a new interactive map at www.cityofrochester.gov/leaves. The collection schedule is also in the City’s
At Your Service Guide mailed to city homes.
To ensure the most efficient collection of leaves,
residents are asked to rake loose leaves into a pile between the sidewalk and
the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of their scheduled collection week.
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. It is dangerous, and therefore illegal to rake leaves into the
street.
Residents may call 311 for more information.
