Curbside Leaf Vacuuming begins each fall around mid-October.

Guidelines

Leaf collection begins in mid-October, and ends in early December (weather dependent).

To ensure that leaves from your property are collected, please follow these guidelines:

• Place leaf piles as close to the edge of the street as possible. Think of higher piles, not wider piles. It's important to allow for two-way vehicular traffic at all times.
• Do NOT place leaf piles in the drainage ditch. Leaf removal crews will not rake out ditches.
• Homeowners with addresses on Santa Barbara and Bloomfield should place leaf piles along adjacent side streets.
• Do NOT include trash, animal feces, twigs, branches, grass clippings, flowers, and other yard waste with leaves. They often cause mechanical malfunctions. If the leaf removal crew discovers these items in a leaf pile, they will leave it and move on to the next address.
• Help ensure crew safety and timely removal by placing leaf piles several feet from garbage cans and other refuse.
• Expect some residue - "leaf dust". It is an inevitable by-product of the leaf collection method and equipment.
• Do NOT park vehicles on or near leaf piles.
• Please be patient. The leaf collection schedule is weather-dependent. it takes longer to collect wet leaves. Several windy days in a row often result in larger leaf piles, which can also take longer to collect.
• If you prefer, you may still use yard waste bags for leaves during the season.
• If you employ a landscape company, please advise them of these guidelines.

The City of Lathrup Village allows residents to sign up for ACH payment enrollment for utility bills. This payment method allows the City to work with your financial institution to deduct your utility bill payment from your checking account each month, limiting your need to visit City Hall or mail your payment. You would still receive your utility bill in the mail for record keeping.

If a resident is interested in signing up for this direct payment option, they can fill out the enrollment application located on the Water Department page of the website and turn it in (with a voided check) to the City.
