2009 Leaf Collection Schedule
The City of Lakewood will begin collecting loose leaves on Monday, November 2, 2009 and will continue until approximately December 11, 2009 weather permitting. Prior to November 2 and after December 11, leaves will be collected only when they are placed in paper yard/leaf bags and set out along with your regular refuse and recycling.
Due to the excessive amount of leaves on Clifton Boulevard and Lake Avenue, these streets will be collected separately. Collection crews will start working at the east end of Clifton Boulevard and Lake Avenue and work west until completed. Collection pick-up for these streets is scheduled to begin on November 2 with additional pick-ups beginning November 16 and November 30.
There will be no collection on November 26 and November 27.
After crews have completed Clifton and Lake, they will collect leaves citywide starting from the west end and working east. The number of citywide collection trips will be weather dependent. Please place your leaves out as soon as possible to avoid missing your collection.
Pick-up dates are weather and equipment dependent.
