The City of Worcester is proud to offer fall leaf collection service to its residents because most communities do not provide curb side leaf collection. The DPW&P strives to reach the best possible balance when notifying the public of the upcoming leaf collection schedule. We wish to give residents enough notice to move their leaves into the street, but also not to impose longer than necessary on-street parking restrictions.

Generally, notice is given 1-2 days in advance. However, a variety of factors may impact our ability to collect leaves such as inclement weather, etc. We appreciate resident cooperation for the duration of the program. Residents always have the option of bringing their leaves to one of the leaf and yard waste drop-off sites.
