Geneva announces curbside leaf collection schedule

When Geneva's curbside leaf collection program begins later this fall, residents will once again be able to track the contractor's progress with an enhanced online map.

The curbside program is scheduled to start the last week of October and the first week of November. The collection schedule, which is posted on the city's website at www.geneva.il.us, is subject to change in case of inclement weather or equipment failure.

The city's curbside leaf pickup is divided into three geographical zones, with each zone collected three times using vacuum truck equipment. Every street will be targeted once during each of the three separate leaf pickups. Each zone takes several days to complete.

Zone breakdowns, proposed start dates for all three collection rounds, and full program details can be found online.

The city's curbside collection map details the collection zones and tracks the progress crews are making through each neighborhood. The map will be updated on weekday mornings, and residents are encouraged to visit the city's website often to check for any potential schedule changes.
