Fall Yard Waste Collection
Waste Management began their weekly yard waste bag collection the week of October 3. This weekly service will continue through the week of November 3028. During this time, residents are not limited to the number of bags that can be placed at the curb for collection.
In addition to the increased curbside yard waste bag pickup, the City of Brighton will be offering the leaf vacuuming service, which is scheduled to begin the week of October 31, 2022. The program will continue until all of the leaves are vacuumed or the City needs to change their efforts to snow removal.
Leaves only will be vacuumed; brush, pine needles, and twigs do not process in the machine. If the leaf pile in front of your home contains sticks, twigs, or pine needles, the pile will not be vacuumed, and you will need to place them in bags for pickup. Additionally, if there is a vehicle or vehicles parked on or near your leaf pile, they will not be vacuumed.
Residents are asked to rake their unbagged leaves along the edge of the roadway no further than six feet back from the curb line.
Please note that high piles of leaves could cause site view obstructions for vehicles and may make it difficult for crews to vacuum. Leaves should be spread out along your property’s curb line and not into any lanes of traffic.
The leaves will be vacuumed in the areas indicated on the map and schedule below. If we are scheduled to be in your area, please have the leaves in the street by Monday morning of that week. The schedule is as follows:

Several passes will be made to all areas if weather permits. Please understand that we strive to remove your leaves in a timely manner after you have raked them to the edge of your property. It is not possible for the City to vacuum leaves on an on-call basis. Remember, burning your leaves is not allowed per City ordinance.
