Curbside Leaf Pick-Up Program

Overview

Each fall, the City of Sherwood’s Public Works Department provides a seasonal leaf pick-up program to help residents manage fallen leaves. Loose leaves are collected throughout the city in designated areas over two rounds of service. Residents are encouraged to review the schedule below and plan accordingly.

2026 Leaf Pickup Schedule

Please refer to the City’s leaf pick-up area map to determine which area your neighborhood is in and when service is scheduled. Thank you for helping keep Sherwood’s streets and neighborhoods clean throughout the fall and winter seasons.

Please be advised that piles of leaves in the street are tempting to young kids to play in and motorists to drive through. Parents, please inform your children of the dangers of playing in or around roadways at all times and encourage street smarts and safety with your family and neighbors.

The City’s Street Sweeper will NOT pick-up piles left behind when he rolls through town at the end of each month. Please do your best to ensure that the City crews can gather as many leaves as possible prior to his schedule.

To experience the full benefit of the program and assist the crews in collecting as many leaves as possible please follow these guidelines:

Please have loose leaves at curbside on the first day of your scheduled pick up area.
Leaves that have been trampled or crushed by traffic or have been sitting for a long time cannot be sucked-up by the machinery and will be left.
Loose leaves, if placed in the street, should be raked into rows instead of a single pile and must be 12” away from the curb to allow for water drainage to the storm drains.
Crews will not walk onto private property to retrieve leaves.
We ask citizens to not use bags for curbside pick-up.
There will be no curbside pickup on Private Streets.
To be most efficient we ask citizens not to park vehicles or place refuse/recycling bins on or near leaves at curb. The equipment is big and bulky and cannot reach tight areas between obstacles.
