Green Tree Borough's Public Works Department will begin its annual leaf collection on October 15 and continue through November, weather-permitting. Rake your leaves to the curb - NOT INTO THE STREET - and the Public Works Department will collect them according to the schedule below.

Homes along Greentree Road, Mansfield Avenue, McMonagle Avenue, Noblestown Road, Pin Oak, Poplar Street and Potomac Avenue MUST bag their leaves and place them at the curb. All bagged streets will be collected on Fridays. Please do not place your leaf bags at the edge of the yard before Thursday evening because the combination of blowing leaves and the high volume of traffic on these roads can create a hazardous situation, particularly if collection is delayed or if it rains.

On all other streets, leaves should be raked into a pile to the dge of the yard no later than 7:00 a.m. of the morning of the scheduled collection.

NOTE: If Public Works completes its collection schedule early on a particular day they may begin collecting leaves on the streets scheduled for the next day. However, Public Works will be by again on the scheduled day to collect any additional leaves.

LEAVES ONLY! Twigs, sticks and branches clog the leaf collection equipment and can slow down or halt the process entirely! Please do not rake leaves into the streets. It can create a slippery situation for passing vehicles or a water hazard if it rains.

*These streets must bag their leaves for collection.

Public Works will do its best to maintain this schedule. However, if there is an emergency requiring immediate attention, or bad weather, the schedule may change. Your patience and understanding are appreciated.
