NAPERVILLE, Ill. — The City's Bulk Curbside Leaf Collection Program will begin on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025. This free program provides every neighborhood with three collection opportunities during a six-week period, weather permitting. It is one of several methods residents can use to dispose of or repurpose fallen leaves, and is meant to complement other options, including mulching, composting, and free bagged leaf collection.
To participate in the Bulk Curbside Leaf Collection Program, residents rake leaves into the street next to the curb by 6 a.m. on the first day of each collection cycle. Cycles are scheduled to begin on:
Depending on the weather, it will take crews approximately two weeks to complete each Citywide collection. The program concludes on Nov. 26. Crews will collect leaves in front of each home once during each cycle.
An interactive map is available at naperville.il.us/leafcollection to track the progress of the collection cycles. Residents can also sign up for the City's mass notification system, Naper Notify, at naperville.il.us/napernotify to receive leaf collection information. Once an account has been created, residents should select the Brush and Leaf Collection category to receive leaf collection updates via a phone call, text message, email or smartphone app.
The Bulk Curbside Leaf Collection Program may end at any time due to the weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Residents should note the following:
Once crews have completed the final curbside collection cycle, all remaining leaves must be disposed of through the City's Free Bagged Leaf and Yard Waste Collection Program or reused for landscaping purposes.
Free Bagged Leaf and Yard Waste Collection Program
The City's Free Bagged Leaf and Yard Waste Collection Program is scheduled to run from Nov. 3 to Dec. 12 as another convenient option for leaf disposal. During this time, residents are not required to use yard waste stickers to dispose of yard waste (including leaves) placed in 32-gallon paper yard waste bags, clearly marked 32-gallon trash cans or clearly marked two-wheeled carts. The yard waste should be placed at the curb by 6 a.m. on the resident's normal trash collection day.

Prior to Nov. 3, a yard waste sticker is required on each bag, can or cart placed out for collection. Branches and other yard waste materials that are tied into bundles always require a yard waste sticker.
All yard waste collection ends for the year on Dec. 12. This includes the City's Yard Waste/Organics Collection Program, which allows residents to bypass bagging and stickers by utilizing a provided cart to dispose of food waste/organics and yard waste for a monthly fee paid to Groot Industries.
Yard waste collection will begin again on March 16, 2026.
Repurpose Your Yard Waste
Leaves contain nutrients that can help support a healthy lawn, gardens and the environment. Using yard waste in landscaping can provide a more natural landscape appearance, keep waterways and storm drains clean, and help save time and money. Residents should consider the following alternative ways to use yard waste this season:

Residents should note the following:
- Snow, rain or freezing weather may significantly delay or permanently halt curbside leaf collection. If the program concludes early because of weather, residents should dispose of remaining leaves through the City's Free Bagged Leaf and Yard Waste Collection Program.
- Leaf volume and weather uncertainties make it impossible for the City to guarantee curbside leaf collection on a specific day.
- Rake leaves away from storm drains to prevent flooding and avoid parking cars on top of leaf piles.
- Avoid placing items other than leaves in leaf Branches, twigs, lumber, rocks and other items buried in leafpiles can cause mechanical breakdowns of equipment, delaying the collection process.
- Rake leaves to the street during every collection cycle, even if it is a small amount. This helps prevent the final collection crews from having the largest quantity to pick up when snow is most probable, and timing is crucial.
- Leaf collection equipment will leave debris on the street. Street sweeping will begin after curbside leaf collection ends, weather permitting. Residents may choose to sweep up leaf debris and include it in the free bagged leaf program.
Once crews have completed the final curbside collection cycle, all remaining leaves must be disposed of through the City's Free Bagged Leaf and Yard Waste Collection Program or reused for landscaping purposes.

Repurpose Your Yard Waste
Leaves contain nutrients that can help support a healthy lawn, gardens and the environment. Using yard waste in landscaping can provide a more natural landscape appearance, keep waterways and storm drains clean, and help save time and money. Residents should consider the following alternative ways to use yard waste this season:
- When mowing the lawn, use the mulching feature rather than bagging the clippings. Returning clippings to the yard keeps it healthy and saves space in the landfill.
- Mix shredded leaves into the soil in the fall and allow them to break down naturally during the winter to improve soil quality. Leaves also provide food, nesting material and cover for several types of wildlife, including birds and butterflies.
- Composted leaves are excellent at holding water and can be used as mulch or covering for vegetable gardens. Shred leaves before composting to assist with decomposition.
