Annual Leaf Drop-Off at City Hall Set for Nov. 14

Oct. 19, 2020 — The City of Wilsonville, in partnership with Republic Services, is hosting its annual Leaf Drop-Off Day on Saturday, Nov. 14, 9 am–2 pm.

Wilsonville residents are invited to drop-off leaves only — no other yard debris, please! — at the City Hall parking lot, 29799 SW Town Center Loop East.

City Public Works employees will be on hand to assist residents with disposing of leaves into large dumpsters provided by Republic Services. Masks are required and additional COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place.

While no fee is charged for dropping-off leaves, the City suggests that participants bring a cash or check donation for Wilsonville Community Sharing, operator of the community food bank and social-services referral agency. Learn more at WilsonvilleCommunitySharing.org.

The City recommends that residents use large paper bags available from local hardware stores that can be recycled with leaves — rather than using plastic bags that are not recyclable.

Help keep our community healthy and livable by responsibly collecting and disposing of leaves. Residents who clean up their leaves improve roadway safety, prevent flooding and protect the aquatic habitat.

Homeowners should avoid raking or blowing fall leaves, grass clippings or any other yard debris onto streets, as these items cannot be removed effectively by street sweepers. The accumulation of leaves on streets may also endanger motorists and bike riders, whose tires may slip on wet leaves.

The annual leaf-collection event is a component of Republic Services’ franchise agreement for solid-waste collection and disposal services with the City of Wilsonville.
