Leaf collection is scheduled each year in the fall.
The leaf truck travels through the Township on a rotating basis through zones. Weather permitting, the leaf pick-up program will typically continue through December.
October 29, 2026
Daily leaf pick-up will begin Monday, November 2nd. We have begun random pickups. If you see the truck and your leaves aren’t out, don’t worry, we will be through all neighborhood’s multiple times! A daily Facebook post will be made on where the truck is expected to begin each day.
The collections will be done on a rotating basis and determined by zones (NEW THIS YEAR!). To determine your zone, please visit our website at: https://perkinstownship.com/public-works/leaf-collection/ We will make multiple passes through the Township. Collections will continue until leaves are removed from the neighborhoods provided that the weather cooperates. An update on where the truck will be is posted on our Facebook page each morning. We will do our best to be as accurate as possible.
🍃 Leaves should be placed along the property owner’s lot within four (4) feet of the curb.
🍃 Do not place leaves in the street, on the curb, or near gutters to ensure that drainage is not affected.
🍃 Leaf piles must be free of debris such as plant materials and sticks to prevent damage to the leaf trucks.
🍃 If leaf piles contain debris, we will be unable to collect them.
🍃 Do not place leaves in any bags, including paper bags.
🍃 Please move vehicles parked in front of leaves. If vehicles block the leaves, we cannot collect them.
