Leaving your leaves on the ground provides many environmental benefits — they enrich the soil as they decompose and provide habitat for birds, mammals, amphibians, and caterpillars. If you want to get rid of them, the County vacuum truck will be making several passes. Or leave them in your biodegradable–not plastic–bags or in the yard waste cart. 

The County’s vacuum leaf passes are:

Aurora Highlands: Nov 10-12 and Dec 1-4

Arlington Ridge: Nov 17-20 and Dec 8-11
