2019 Leaf Pick-Up

The City of Wilmington will begin its Leaf Pickup Program on Monday, October 28, weather permitting. City workers will begin picking up leaves in the Southwest Quadrant of the City and will proceed clockwise through City neighborhoods.
 
Crews will spend approximately one to two weeks in each quadrant. The quadrants are defined as follows:

• Southwest Quadrant - South of W. Main St./West of S. South St. (Southridge, Timber Glen, Truesdell)
• Northwest Quadrant - North of W. Main St./West of  N. South St. (Lakewood, McDermott Village, Wilmington High School)
• Northeast Quadrant  - North of E. Main St./East of N. South St. (N. Lincoln, N. Walnut, Denver Edition, Rombach Ave.)
• Southeast Quadrant - South of E. Main St./East of S. South St. (Wilmington College, Southeast Neighborhood)

Leaves should be raked to the edge of the curb (between the curb and sidewalk).  DO NOT RAKE YOUR LEAVES INTO THE STREET. Leaves in the street contaminate stormwater runoff and also block catch basins and cause flooding.
 
PLEASE REMOVE BRANCHES, ROCKS, TRASH, OR OTHER DEBRIS FROM LEAF PILES. Branches and other debris mixed in with the leaves damage the equipment and will create delays in the collection process.  
 
Please have all portable basketball rims removed from street edge and curb line to expedite the collection process.
 
The City is making two rounds through each quadrant. Leaves in the alleys will be picked up at the end of the second round.  Inclement weather will affect the pickup schedule, so changes in the schedule are likely to occur.
