Town leaf pick-up begins later this month

It’s  sure sign of fall when the Town of Webster announces the start of its annual leaf pick-up runs.

Weather permitting, the weekly runs will begin on Monday, October 22 and go through Monday, November 26 when they will make one final pass throughout the town, starting from the west side to the east side. After that final run, leaves collected by residents will have to be bagged and left for your trash collector.

Please DO NOT place leaves in the road or in the gutter. Placing the leaves in the road and gutters is illegal and creates an unsafe condition for drivers as well as pedestrians. It also increases wear and tear on our leaf machines as the leaves cannot dry out after a rain event and slows down the leaf pick up operation. Placing the leaves in the gutters also clogs the catch basins and can result in flooding during a rain event.

If you have any questions regarding the Leaf Pick-up, please contact the Highway Department at (585) 872-1443, Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
