Lakewood residents in Zone 3, whose regular trash and recycling pickup is on Wednesdays, should have their leaves ready for collection next week, the Department of Public Works announced.
Zone 3 leaf pickup is scheduled for Monday, November 16 through Friday, November 20. Residents should have their leaves prepared by early Monday morning at the latest.
How To Prepare Your Leaves
- Rake leaves to the curb line, similar to where cars are parked.
- Leave them in loose, open piles. Do not bag them.
- Keep wood, brush, dirt and other material out of the leaf piles.
- Place piles at least 10 feet away from storm drains.
The collection dates are part of Lakewood’s 2026 fall leaf pickup schedule.
