FALL LEAF PICKUP
As a free service to its citizens, the City of Maplewood
provides curbside leaf vacuuming. During the months
of November and December, residents may rake leaves
to the tree lawn (between the sidewalk and curb) for
vacuum removal by the Public Works Department.
Please do not rake leaves into the street. This causes
clogged storm sewers. Starting on Monday, November
7th, the City will vacuum leaves at the curb using the
following tentative schedule:

South of Manchester, west of Big Bend - Monday
and Tuesday of the first full week of November

North of Manchester, west of Big Bend - Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the first full week of
November

North of Manchester, east of Big Bend - Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of the second full week of
November

South of Manchester, east of Big Bend - Thursday
and Friday of second full week of November

South of Greenwood Blvd. - Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of the third full week of November
Leaves not vacuumed on schedule will be vacuumed on
Saturdays or during the second round. Crews make a
second pass through the entire city starting on Monday
after Thanksgiving. Please rake your leaves to the tree
lawn as soon as possible. Crews will not vacuum
leaves on rainy days because the wet leaves clog the
machines. Also, the public works crew will not pick
up leaf piles that are mixed with debris. These foreign
objects damage the leaf machine.
Leaves will not be vacuumed after December 31. After that date, leaves must be bagged and marked with
an Allied Waste tag, and set out for the regular
Wednesday collection. Allied Waste tags can be purchased at City Hall, the Public Library and at Scheidt
True Value Hardware, 7320 Manchester Avenue. If
you have any questions about the leaf vacuuming program, feel free to contact the Public Works Department at 645-3600.
