City of Huntington Leaf Collection Timetable for 2024

Fall leaf pickup is divided into five collection zones. The zones are the same used for trash pickup, with Zone 1 matching Monday's trash route, Zone 2 matching Tuesday's route, and so on.

Leaf pick-up for the City of Huntington will begin Monday October 21, 2024, weather permitting.

Updates will be posted on the City of Huntington’s Facebook page on a regular basis. Updates also can be obtained by calling City Services at (260) 356-4720.

For example: We will start in Zone 1(Monday’s trash route) and continue into Zones 2-5 after completing a pass thru each zone. After all zones have been collected, we will start over in Zone 1 until leaf season is done (usually by the end of the year).

Leaf collection may occur on any day of the week. It is important for residents to have leaves ready for pickup by 7 a.m. on Monday.

To schedule pickup of leaves placed in brown bags, residents may call (260) 356-4720 and follow the prompts. Brown bags will be picked up every Tuesday.

There will be no leaf collection on the following holidays:

  • Veteran’s Day: Monday, November 11.
  • Thanksgiving: Thursday and Friday, November 28-29.
  • Christmas: Monday and Tuesday, December 24-25.

Preparing Leaves for Pick-up:

  • Leaves will only be collected if they are raked to the curb in front of the residence OR placed in brown bags and placed at the curb for collection.
  • Do NOT rake leaves into the streets. This will not let water get to the drains. Do NOT rake leaves into the streets!
  • Other yard waste SHOULD NOT be mixed with the leaves
  • Cars should not be parked on or in front of leaf piles. If there is a vehicle blocking the leaves we WILL NOT be able to pick them up.

Safety and Maintenance:

  • Parents should remind children NOT to play in leaf piles near the street!
  • Residents should make sure that leaves are not near a storm drain.
  • Residents should ensure that storm drains are clear of debris.
