City of Grosse Pointe Farms

Fall Curbside Leaf Collection

The main objective of the Loose-Leaf Collection Program is to increase the level of service to the residents while protecting the local infrastructure and environment. The start date of the curbside loose leaf collection is October 16, 2023 (Friday's rubbish route) and ends December 8, 2023  (Thursday's rubbish route). Do not put any materials in the street before the curbside leaf collection season has begun.

Please follow these important guidelines:

  • Do not place leaves in the street until 5pm the day of your scheduled rubbish collection day. Leaves are collected the day after your scheduled rubbish collection day. Place them between the curb and the sidewalk until that time, then place them in the street.
  • Do not park on the street on your rubbish collection day. This prevents the collection of your leaf pile and can pose a fire hazard to your vehicle.
  • Separate your brush pile and your leaf pile. 
  • Leaves are collected the next business day after your scheduled rubbish pickup.
