Leaf pick up in Eaton Twp - Oct. 20 to Nov. 26

Leaf pick up in the Eaton Township

Eaton Township: Our road and Bridge crew will pick up roadside from Monday October

20th to Wednesday November 26th .

Residents can help to ensure that the collection process runs smoothly by following these

simple rules:

• Place only leaves in the leaf piles. Other forms of yard waste such as: rocks, tree branches, twigs, flowers, straw, corn stalks, weeds, fruit, animal feces, walnuts, and grass clippings slow the collection process and damage township equipment.

• Leaf piles should be placed at your curb (without obstructing traffic). Leaves

  should NOT be piled behind parked vehicles or near the storm drain. Property

  owners without curbs may pile their leaves as close to the street as possible, but

  leaves should never be placed in the street. Township vehicles will not leave the paved

  area, so make sure your leaves are stacked within 5 feet of the curb. If we cannot

  reach the leaves, we cannot pick up.

• Do NOT pile leaves closer than 4 feet to mailboxes, signpost, and other objects.

• Do NOT bag leaves.

• Do NOT pile leaves in ditches or over catch basins or risers – This may cause

  flooding.

Uncontrollable conditions such as equipment breakdowns, bad weather, and/or emergency work make it difficult to know what day the township will be there to collect leaves. The leaf vacuum machines are unable to pick up leaves that have become frozen to the ground or are exceptionally heavy from water. Freezing rain, sleet, or snow will halt the vacuum collection of leaves. We will cover all areas of the Township – BUT THERE IS NO SET SCHEDULE - PHONE CALLS ARE NOT NECESSARY.
