Please refrain from putting brush and sticks in the leaf piles, they clog and cause damage to the machine. Damaged and down machines will cause a slow down during leaf pickup.

Please put leaf piles on the edge of the pavement, off of the roadway. Leaf piles should be wind rowed and no wider than four feet. Also refrain from piling the leaves near mailboxes, street signs and power poles as the machines lack the capability of reaching in these areas. Please avoid piling leaves in front of storm drains, fire hydrants or block utility accesses.

If you have any leaves or yard clippings before or beyond the scheduled cleanup dates they can be dropped off at the Pentwater Township Transfer Station located behind the Dollar General store just off of Monroe Road.
