Fall Leaf Pickup
Good news! Fall leaf pickup has been extended to next week, Monday, December 1, 2025, to Wednesday, December 3, 2025. The Public Works Department (DPW) will pick up leaves around the entire City. Please have all leaves to the curb by Monday at 7:00 a.m. There's no set schedule available, so please have your leaves out on time to make sure they are picked up. If possible, please move your vehicle to facilitate the pickup.
Please remember to keep leaf piles free of debris, like rocks, sticks, and grass. Those items and leaves can be bagged with yard waste, which will be picked up at the curb on your regular trash day until the week of Monday, December 15, 2025. Be sure not to pile leaves on the easement between the curb and the sidewalk.

Yard Waste Pickup
The City provides annual curbside yard waste service pickup. The program began on Monday, April 7, 2025, and ends the week of December 15, 2025.
Yard waste—including grass clippings, leaves, small sticks, and weeds—is collected weekly on your regular trash day. Yard waste should be placed in either a reusable container with a Ferndale Yard Waste Compost label (labels available at City Hall or the Public Works Yard) or paper kraft bags (available at most local hardware and home improvement stores).
Between December and April, yard waste can be dropped off free of charge at SOCRRA's Troy transfer station by appointment only; contact 248-288-5150 for details.
