What To Do With All Those Leaves?

Leaf collection begins Saturday.

Ready to get all those autumn leaves off your lawn?

Upper St. Clair leaf collection begins Saturday, Oct. 20.

Be sure to put all your raked leaves and yard waste in compostable paper bags and set them on the curb before 6 a.m.

Haven't yet had a chance to clean up the leaves? No worries. The collection will continue every Saturday morning for the next six weeks—Oct. 27; Nov. 3; Nov. 10; Nov. 17; and Dec. 1.

If you think it'd be easier to dump the leaves in your trash can for regular garbage pickup, think again. Pennsylvania's Recycling Act 101 restricts the placement of yard waste and leaf material in landfills.
