Fall Leaf Collection

Overview

The City of Huntington provides free curbside leaf collection each fall season. For questions, please call City Services at (260) 356-4720.

Collection Zones

We'll start in Zone 1 (Monday's trash route) and continue into Zones 2-5 after completing a pass through each zone. After all zones have been collected, we'll start over in Zone 1 until leaf season is done, usually by the end of the year.

Leaf collection may occur on any day of the week. It is important for residents to have leaves ready for pickup by 7 a.m. Monday mornings.

Holidays

Typically, there will be no leaf collection on the following holidays:

  • Veteran’s Day
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas

Preparing Leaves for Pick-up

  • Leaves will only be collected if they are raked to the curb in front of the residence OR placed in brown bags and placed at the curb for collection.
  • Do NOT rake leaves into the streets. This will not let water get to the drains. Do NOT rake leaves into the streets!
  • Other yard waste SHOULD NOT be mixed with the leaves
  • Cars should not be parked on or in front of leaf piles. If there is a vehicle blocking the leaves we WILL NOT be able to pick them up.

Safety and Maintenance

  • Parents should remind children NOT to play in leaf piles near the street!
  • Residents should make sure that leaves are not near a storm drain.
  • Residents should ensure that storm drains are clear of debris.

Other Yard Waste Services

Throughout the year, residents can also call City Services to schedule Brown Bag Pickup. Grass clippings and other yard waste can be scheduled for collection on Tuesdays.
