Loose Leaf Collection
FALL LOOSE LEAF COLLECTION
The Denton Public Works Department is scheduling their annual spring loose-leaf vacuuming removal service to occur Friday, October 16, 2026, through Friday, December 11, 2026. Leaves must be bagged for pickup the remaining months of the year.
Loose leaf vacuuming will occur on Friday and/or Monday, pending workload, weather, and excluding holidays. It will be necessary to call in your loose-leaf vacuum pickup request by 12:00 Noon on Thursday to guarantee pickup by Monday. We ask that you please only have one pile of leaves, and have it located at the edge of your property, without obstructing sidewalks or roadways, where it can easily be accessed by Public Works staff.
Bagged leaf collection will still occur on Wednesdays and must be called in to the town office by 12:00 Noon on Tuesday.
Citizens are encouraged to call the Town Office at (410) 479-2050 to request pickup. If calling after hours, please leave the requests on the Town Office answering machine, ext. 1.
Please follow these guidelines for leaf removal:
- Leaves should be raked to the curbside or alley.
- DO NOT rake leaves into the street.
- DO NOT rake leaves onto the sidewalk.
- Make sure all sticks and limbs are removed from the pile of leaves.
- Make sure there are no other objects or debris mixed with the leaves (like bottles, cans, flowerpots, gloves, ashes, pet waste or other trash)
- Piles of leaves with sticks, limbs or other debris will not be picked up.
- Phone in your pickup request to the Town Office at (410) 479-2050 by Thursday to guarantee pickup by Monday.
- All pickups will be done by request/appointment only.
