Leaf Pick Up Begins Oct. 15

It’s that time of year again.

The leaves are turning bright colors and the smells of apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice are strong at area coffee shops.

Baseball is almost over and football is in full swing.

And the city’s going to start collecting leaves soon.

The first scheduled leaf pick up in Waukesha is Oct. 15. A schedule is attached. If you don’t know what district you are in, check this map.

The city is requesting that leaves be raked to the terrace area by 7 a.m. the day of leaf pick up. Leaves should not be raked into the gutter as that violates city ordinances.

Residents are also prohibited from burning leaves in Waukesha. The city is also encouraging the mulching of leaves.
