Leaf Pickup

Status update 12/7/2009:  The 2009 curbside leaf collection is complete.  Street sweepers have been following leaf pick up and are running three to four days behind schedule.  Please note, street sweepers need a certain temperature to operate, if the weather gets too cold, they will not be able to finish.  The only remaining sections for sweeping are December 1, 2, 3 and 4 (see leaf collection schedule for sections).  For residents who still have yard waste, it will be picked up on your regular refuse day in the appropriate containers (either a brown paper landscape bag or a 32 gallon container with the yard waste decal facing the street) until December 18th.   After that residents can either hold onto yard waste until the program begins April 1, 2010 or Royal Oak residents can take up to ten yard waste bags per day per home to the Troy Transfer station between December 21, 2009 and March 31, 2010 for free.  The Troy Transfer station is located at 991 Coolidge which is North of 14 Mile, across from the Meijer gas station.  Hours for drop-off are Monday thru Friday 8am to 4pm and Saturday 8am to noon.  Please call SOCRRA at (248) 288-5150 for more information.  Thank you.

Following is the tentative City of Royal Oak curbside leaf collection schedule for 2009.

Residents should note that schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, mechanical breakdowns or other factors beyond the City’s control. If collections are ahead of schedule, a truck will be down your street on the regularly scheduled day of pickup. There is only one Saturday scheduled for pick-up, the remainder of the Saturdays during collection will be used as “catch up”.

Please note clear/colored plastic bags are no longer acceptable for yard waste, including leaves; please use the appropriate container. Additional Guidelines and information.
