2025 Leaf Pick Up Program

October 09, 2025

Method 1 – bagged curbside pickup: All city residents that receive services from Republic have access to unlimited weekly yard waste collection, including for the fall leaf season. Residents can continue to bag leaves and place at the curb for weekly pickup. The leaves will need to be in cans (marked yard waste) or yard waste paper bags. Cans and bags can contain any acceptable yard waste materials.
Method 2 – automated curbside leaf pickup: The city is offering an additional program this fall. Residents are permitted to place leaf piles at the curb to be picked up by the city’s Street Department. The leaf pickup program will begin on Monday, Oct. 27^th. The leaf collections will be done on a rotating basis from east to west with at least two trips throughout the city. The final date will be Friday Dec. 5^th.

When utilizing method 2, please adhere to the following guidelines:

Leaf piles must be placed within 6ft. of the curb
Pickup is for leaves only - no sticks or other yard waste materials are permitted
Do not place leaves in the street, near mailboxes, utility poles, or behind parked vehicles – they will not be picked up
Piles of leaves that fail to meet these guidelines will be painted with an X and won’t be collected

If you have any questions about the process, please contact the City of Huron’s Street Department at (419) 433-9504.
