Anderson fall leaf collection returns. Here’s how to check your route
Find your Anderson, California leaf collection route, learn where to place leaf piles and see what to do between city pickups.
If leaves are piling up in your yard, the City of Anderson is asking residents to check their neighborhood pickup schedule before setting them out. The annual leaf collection program helps keep leaves from blocking gutters and storm drains, where they can cause water to back up during rain.
The city describes the usual collection season as running from around November 1st through January 1st. Public Works aims to visit neighborhoods every other week. Check the flyer included with your water bill or use the city’s online map to find your route.
Where to put your leaves
The city asks residents to gather leaves in a pile in front of their home, leaving room for water to flow along the curb and into storm drains. Keep the piles away from curbs, drains and other obstacles.
Crews cover large pickup zones, so some piles may remain after a scheduled visit. If you need to clear leaves between visits, you can put them in your Waste Management green waste cart.
