Leaf Pickup Leaf pickup is the responsibility of the property owner. Please do not allow the leaves to accumulate in or around storm and sanitary lines. This causes the lines to become clogged or damaged, thereby resulting in maintenance and repairs. The ensuing maintenance and repairs consumes manpower and tax dollars, all of which ultimately lead to a higher cost to each taxpayer. Please utilize the following methods to remove leaves and yard debris.
A "leaf pickup" will be announced and occur during spring (APRIL & MAY 2023) AND the fall months. There will be several weeks in which the City will pick up your leaves. This will occur on the non-recycling weeks of trash pickup. To have your leaves, grass or other yard debris picked up by the City, please place the leaf or yard waste in biodegradable bags. These bags may be purchased at any local home improvement store. On occasion, we may have a limited supply on hand at the Treasurer's office. Biodegradable bags can also be dropped off at the City Garage during the appropriate months (4th Street & Brickell Avenue). During all other times of the year, you may still place leaves in biodegradable bags, but they will be hauled away during regular sanitation pickup. The City does not provide leaf pickup via street sweeper or leaf vacuum. Please do not rake or sweep leaves on to the sidewalk or roadway. They will not be picked up by the City. Remember, this will lead to infrastructure problems which takes a toll on all residents of the City. City Roads

Brush/Trimmings/Limb Chipping Brush, Trimmings and Limb chipping is available to residents every Wednesday.
This service is for trimmings only and costs $20. No full tree removal. Residents are asked to stack all trimmings with the large end facing the same direction. This allows for easier loading by our public works department. No dirt or root balls can be fed in to the chipper. Please remove any dirt or root balls prior to placing curbside. Limbs are not permitted to be larger than 6" (six inches) in circumference. To have your brush, trimmings and small tree limbs picked up, please call the City Tax Office at 724.527.4000 ext 15. to make payment. Alternatively, you can stop in person. Once payment is received, the order will be placed with the Public Works Department. EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL ON SANITATION BILLSStay tuned for relevant educational information printed on
