Fall Leaf Collection
Taking pride in serving our city and neighbors.
As leaves fall across Maryville, our Public Works crews get to work. Leaf collection is a season-long effort that takes teamwork, specialized equipment and hands-on work to gather the leaves that cover our city each fall.​

You can help our crews keep collection moving safely and efficiently by preparing your leaves for pickup. Every properly prepared pile helps our team do its work. Thank you for doing your part and supporting the Public Works employees who serve Maryville throughout the season.
​
Collection Schedule
Fall leaf collection follows the same zones as your brush and bulk pickup service. Collection begins in the red zone on Thursday, October 15, and continues through the last week of December.
​Crews will begin their final collection before spring on January 4, 2027. Have any remaining loose leaves ready by that date, on your lawn near the curb.
Not sure what zone you are located in? Click on the button below to learn about your collection and zone schedule. 
You Can Help Our Crews By:
  • Keeping leaves loose. Place them in a pile on your front lawn near the curb.

  • Keeping the street clear. Do not place leaves over the curb or in the street, where they can clog storm drains.

  • Separating other materials. Keep junk, limbs and brush out of leaf piles. This protects the vacuum truck equipment and helps keep leaves out of the landfill.​​
