Thursday, 11/21/2024 - Bartlett's waste hauler Groot has extended leaf collection by two weeks, with the final collection scheduled for Tuesday, 12/10.

Leaves should be placed in brown paper yard bags at the curb alongside other household refuse and recyclables. DO NOT put leaves in plastic bags; these will not be collected. You do not need to use stickered yard waste bags for leaves. Generic yard waste bags without stickers are accepted. However, all other yard waste, such as grass clippings, pulled weeds, etc., must still be placed in stickered yard bags for collection.

Village ordinance prohibits any person from depositing, raking, shoveling, plowing, blowing or dumping any leaves, grass clippings, branches, snow, onto any public parkway, gutter or street. Excess leaves and lawn clippings can obstruct sewers and cause flooding. Large piles of leaves also can freeze once temperatures drop and become roadway hazards.
