Grab your rake; fall leaf pickup is here! The City of Ferndale provides weekly curbside leaf collection during the fall season. Leaves are collected one business day before your scheduled trash pickup day. The program runs from the week of October 19, 2026, through the week of November 23, 2026.

Please follow these procedures:

• Rake your leaves, free of debris, to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day.
• Do not pile leaves on the easement between the curb and the sidewalk.
• Move vehicles out of the way if possible to help keep the process efficient.
• Leaves piled high for too long can cause a parking hazard.
• If you miss a pickup, please wait until the following week to rake your leaves to the curb.
• Yard waste items like sticks, rocks, and grass do not belong in the leaf pickup pile. However, you can combine everything in your yard waste, which must be placed in a labeled container or a brown kraft bag.

Please note: DPW will issue warnings for any leaves at the curb by Monday, November 30, 2026. After this point, leaves can be mixed with yard waste until the week of Monday, December 14, 2026.

For questions, please contact the Public Works Department at 248-546-2519.
