Area Leaf Collection Schedule

See where to rake leaves to have them picked up.

As the autumn leaf foliage reaches it's peak, residents have gearing up to rake the leaves from their yards—some already have gotten a head start.

Here's some information about leaf collection in Oakmont and Plum boroughs.

Oakmont

Public works crews in Oakmont pick up leaves raked between the sidewalk and the curb or behind the curb usually from October through mid-December, depending on weather influences. If residents bag their leaves and set them at the curb, both the borough and garbage hauler will pick them up.

Residents are asked not to rake leaves into the streets, which results in expensive repairs to clogged borough sewers and could present a fire hazard to vehicles parked over dry leaves.

Plum

Leaf collection begins next week on Oct. 17. Residents are asked to rake leaves to back of curb avoiding placement on the street, as the leaves are scattered by traffic and accumulate in storm drains causing blockage. Bagged leaves will not be accepted.

If leaves are not on the curb on collection day, they will not be collected until the next scheduled leaf removal day.
