LEAF PROGRAM

           The City of St. Marys would like to announce that the annual Leaf Collection Program is scheduled to begin the week of October 21, 2024. The following restrictions will apply. 

• 1      BAGGED LEAVES WILL NOT BE COLLECTED. 
• 2      Raked leaves shall be placed prior to 7:00 a.m. on the Monday of your collection area and are to be within five feet from the edge of the

road in the outer line or in the ditch line. DO NOT place leaves on the road. If leaves are put out late, we cannot guarantee collection.

• 3       Do not park vehicles near leaf piles. The leaf truck cannot and will not pick up leaf piles if a car is blocking it.
• 4       Remove all sticks and rocks from the leaf pile. The truck will not collect the leaves if there are sticks, stones, grass clippings, garden waste, or other debris in the piles. This may cause damage to the truck and further delay collection.
• 5       Rake leaves into long piles and not one big pile. Do not place piles near fire hydrants, utility poles, signposts, trees, etc.
• 6     If leaves are bagged, they must be emptied into long piles to be collected by the vacuum truck and must be placed prior to 7:00 a.m. on the Monday of your collection area. 
• 7      Keep stormwater inlets, drains, ditches, roadways, and sidewalks free of leaf piles.
• 8      Residents may take bagged leaves directly to Woodbed off Wilson Road. The site is open during daylight hours. All bags must be emptied and placed in the appropriate area.
• 9      If time and weather permits, neighborhoods may be collected again if all areas have been collected at least once.
