Maintain Clean Streets
To prevent any traffic hazards, ensure that leaves and other debris are free from rocks and stored away from the street and drainage ditches. This will prevent these areas from clogging and causing issues.
Loose Leaf Season (October 1 – January 31):
Loose leaves will be collected on the business day following your regular trash pickup. Simply pile your leaves at the curb,
(No containers are needed.)
Note: During peak season, high volumes and wet conditions may cause collection delays.
Off Season (February 1 – September 30):
Leaves must be containerized in a reusable container, labeled with the address number and "Yard Waste" for pickup. No plastic bags allowed.
Limbs are not picked up by a machine, they are manually picked up by the All Star employee. To ensure efficient removal of debris, please follow these guidelines:
- Limbs should be no wider than 4 inches in diameter and no longer than 6 feet.
- If limbs are wider than 4 inches in diameter, cut them into 2-foot segments.
- The debris pile should be no larger than 6 feet wide and 3 feet high.
- If you have multiple piles, each should follow the 6x6x3 rule (approximately 4 cubic yards).
- Keep the debris untangled, neat, and easily accessible.
Limbs must meet size guidelines. Non-compliant piles may not be collected and could incur a fee. Once corrected, pickup resumes the following week.
If you require additional space, you can purchase a brown, 95-gallon "Yard Waste Only" cart. You may also receive weekly servicing of all containers at no additional cost.
