Leaf Collection

In 2023, the fall leaf collection period will begin on Monday, October 23, and will wrap up the week of December 25.  During this time, Republic Services picks up leaf piles placed in the street once a week.

The fall leaf collection period is the only time leaves may be deposited in the street.  Leaf piles placed in the street outside of the annual collection period will not be picked up and may be considered a violation of the Corvallis Municipal Code.

The ability of Republic Services to get to your neighborhood once a week relies, in part, on your help.  Here are some guidelines to make sure that leaf collection can be completed in a safe and efficient manner, and does not impair the ability of the street to drain rainwater:

• Place leaves into long, narrow piles in parking areas.  Do not rake or blow leaves into the street in undefined piles.
• Only place leaves in the street. Grass, branches, limbs, or other debris will not be picked up by Republic Services.
• Place leaves in the street the evening before your scheduled leaf pick-up day. 
• Place leaf piles one foot from the curb to allow space for rain water to runoff along the curb line. 
• Make sure leaves do not block catch basins or storm drains.
• Avoid parking vehicles near leaf piles, as Republic Services cannot collect leaves blocked by vehicles.  

Out of consideration for the bicycling public, please do not place leaves in bike lanes.  For those of you who live adjacent to streets with no parking, this means using your yard debris container for leaf disposal, and perhaps renting an additional container(s) to handle the volume of leaves from your property.  

If your street was missed for leaf pick-up, or for additional information regarding leaf pick-up, contact Republic Services at 541-754-0444. 

CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION  

Christmas trees will be collected the first two weeks of January each year. Trees will be picked up at the curb on your regular garbage pick-up day.  Trees must be free of tinsel, flocking, and other decorations.
