Autumn is here and Aurora residents can dispose of their leaves for free as part of Aurora’s Annual Leaf Collection Program.
The free Fall Leaf Collection Program will run Monday, Oct. 18 through Friday, Dec. 3.
Leaves must be put into a 30-gallon paper yard waste bag and placed at the curb on the regular garbage pickup day by 6 a.m. No waste sticker is needed.
Yard waste collection will take place through Friday, Dec. 3, as well. On the regular garbage pickup day, yard waste must be placed in a 30-gallon paper yard waste bag not to exceed 50 pounds. Each bag must have a waste sticker attached. The stickers used for yard waste are the same as the stickers used for excess garbage. Yard waste mixed with trash, or yard waste in a trash can, or plastic bag, will not be collected.
Residents are being reminded that brush must be bundled for collection. Unlimited bundled brush collection is in process and will end Friday, Nov. 5. Branches and limbs one-half-inch to four inches in diameter and two feet to four feet in length must be bundled.
