Shorewood Leaves Pick-Up Begins

SHOREWOOD,WI—The Village will begin leaf collection on Monday, October 19.

Prior to this date, leaves must be bagged for collection.

For October 19 and future leaf collections, residents are asked to rake leaves into piles at the edge of the curb on the parkway (the area between the sidewalk and curb).

Do not place leaves in the street. Leaves in the street are more likely to clog inlet drains and cause street flooding.

During peak leaf season, bulk leaf collection by vacuum machine is performed by Department of Public Works crews.

Leaf collection by vacuum machines normally begins on the third Monday in October and continues through the first Friday in December. These dates may be adjusted depending on the leaf fall each particular year.

Prior to and after bulk collection, leaves must be bagged in paper bags and placed at the curb for collection.

These bags will be collected on the same day as yard waste and residential solid waste.
