Fall Leaf Collection Dates Set For Village Of Deerfield

Press release from the Village of Deerfield:

October 6, 2022

The Village’s annual leaf collection program provides residents with an alternative for disposal of their autumn leaves.

Residents who do not mulch or bag their leaves may rake leaves to the curb or carriage walk before their scheduled pickup.

The Village will start collecting leaves on October 31 this year and will continue this service through December 1.

Public Works Department crews will make one pass by all homes in the Village each week during the four-week program. The specific day of the week for each home is shown on the corresponding map.

We ask that you do not put out leaves more than one day prior to your scheduled pickup day. Leaves should be raked in a long, neat row that does not exceed five feet in width.

They should be raked as close to the curb as possible, so long as they are not placed in the street or on top of the carriage walks or sidewalk, as this causes safety hazards. If you have landscapers, please direct them to abide by the Village’s leaf collection guidelines.

Crews will not follow the normal collection schedule during the week of Thanksgiving (November 21 through the November 23) but will still hit every street in the Village. Therefore, it’s important to have your leaves out by Monday of this particular week.
