Aurora’s annual free leaf collection program is now underway.
The program runs through Friday, Dec. 2.
Leaves must be put into a 30-gallon paper yard waste bag and placed at the curb on the regular garbage pickup day by 6 a.m., city officials said. No waste sticker is needed.
Yard waste collection will also take place through Dec. 2 as well. On the regular garbage pickup day, yard waste must be placed in a 30-gallon paper yard waste bag not to exceed 50 pounds, according to city officials. Each bag must have a waste sticker attached. The stickers used for yard waste are the same as the stickers used for excess garbage.
Yard waste mixed with trash or yard waste in a trash can or plastic bag will not be collected, officials said.
Residents are also being reminded that brush must be bundled for collection. Unlimited bundled brush collection is in process and will end on Nov. 4. Branches and limbs a half-inch to four inches in diameter and two feet to four feet in length must be bundled. Each bundle must weigh less than 50 pounds, according to city officials.
Bundled brush does not need a waste sticker.
