Update 1/16/2025
CWD has notified the City that an additional week of Leaf Recycling will be added to make up for the January 11th cancellation due to weather. Customers will now have leaf recycling on January 22nd and January 25th in addition to January 18th. 

As autumn settles in and leaves begin to fall, the City's trash and recycling provider is ready to help you keep your yard tidy with their convenient Leaf Recycling Program, beginning November 20, 2024, until January 18, 2025! To make the process simple and stress-free, CWD will collect bagged leaves on specific days based on your regular trash schedule:

If your regular trash pickup falls on a Monday or Thursday, your leaf recycling pickup will be on Wednesday.

If your regular trash pickup falls on a Tuesday or Friday, your leaf recycling pickup will be on Saturday.

You can find your Leaf Recycling pickup days in the graphic and table below:

Follow these steps for a smooth pick-up process:

  • Set Out Early: Have your bagged leaves at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled day.
  • Separate from Trash: Place bagged leaves away from other waste to make sure they’re collected for recycling.
  • Stick to Leaves: Keep bags focused on leaves—try to limit acorns, twigs, and other debris.
  • Mind the Weight: Bags should weigh under 50 pounds and be sturdy enough to lift without tearing.
  • Correct Size: For un-mulched leaves, 100-gallon bags or smaller are preferred. For mulched leaves, 55-gallon bags or smaller work best.
  • Let Us Know for Large Pickups: Planning to put out more than 20 bags? Just be sure to let us know by using the Southlake Serves app.
