Worcester, MA (November 3, 2014) - The Fall Leaf Collection Program for 2014 will begin on Tuesday, November 4th. Streets will be posted prior to leaf collection to provide advance notification to residents that a No Parking Ban will be in effect while leaves are being collected. Residents are reminded to rake leaves from sidewalk and property areas to the edge of the street gutter. When you see that your street is posted with leaf collection signs you can then push the row of leaves into the gutter.
Bagged leaves can be taken to the Chandler Street or Clark Street Drop-Off Centers on Wednesdays from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM and on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The Millbury Street site will be open Wednesdays from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, and Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
If your street is in the Thursday or Friday trash collection areas, you may wish to take your leaves to one of the yard waste drop-off sites. This will ensure that an early winter storm will not cause a delay or postponement of the collection program which may result in your leaves not being collected at the curb.
The DPW&P will be collecting leaves from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, weather permitting.
For questions, please call the DPW&P Customer Service Center at (508) 929-1300 and visit the Fall Leaf Collection Page.
