Leaf Pickup Schedule
The Portsmouth Public Service Department is starting its annual leaf pickup Oct. 31. The entire city will be covered twice in six weeks according to the following schedule. There are some changes this year.
Citizens are asked to rake their leaves in the street next to the curb at least one day ahead of the schedule. Rake leaves separately from brush or other objects. Place bagged leaves near where garbage is placed, but keep the two separate.
Residents are asked to move their cars on the day of their scheduled leaf pickup, especially if the street is narrow. Leaves that are under cars will not be picked up until the next scheduled day.
Those who are using a landscaping company to collect leaves are responsible for removing the leaves from the property.
The dates are tentative, because they may be delayed by the weather, quantity of leaves or equipment failure.
The leaf schedule is as follows:
