City of Batavia sets leaf pick-up schedule

BATAVIA — The city has announced its leaf collection schedule.

Leaf pick-ups will take place Oct. 30 to Dec. 1. Residents are asked to rake leaves into piles and leave them in the parkway un-bagged.

It’s asked that people place their leaves close to the curb line or edge of roadway without placing them in the street. Leaves should not be piled around fire hydrants, trees, utility poles or signposts.

Leaf piles should only contain leaves and no branches, grass clippings or other materials. It takes about two weeks to go through the entire city.

Any resident with leaves can also bring them to the Yard Waste Station until it closes for the season on Dec. 9.

The Yard Waste hours are noon to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday through Nov. 4. Hours then switch to 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 6 to Dec. 9.

Leaf piles must be clear of sticks and all animal waste – if animal waste or other debris is found in the piles, they will not be picked up

Grass clippings, flower pottings, branches, and pumpkins cannot be picked up and residents may bring those items to the Yard Waste Station on Law Street.

It’s also asked that people keep leaf piles clear of drainage ways and catch basins.

People are asked not to park on leaf piles because a vehicle’s hot exhaust system presents a fire risk.

“Do not wait to get your leaves out,” city officials said in a news release. “We will normally collect leaves twice within the month of leaf collection. If it is snowing, we plow first. If it continues to snow, then leaf operations will be suspended.”

There is no leaf pickup in the spring.
