Buffalo – Mayor Byron W. Brown today announced that the City of Buffalo will collect bagged leaves and yard waste from October 1, 2019 until December 1, 2019. City residents can put their bagged leaves at the curb during this time period for composting.
“Today, I’m calling on City residents to Bag It, Buffalo as part of our Leaf Recycling Program, designed to keep our streets and storm drains clean and clear in neighborhoods citywide,” said Mayor Brown. “I appreciate the cooperation of residents in helping this year’s bagged leaf collection process run as smoothly as possible and encourage them to learn about the different leaf recycling collection alternatives available to them so that our community can continue to properly recycle, saving taxpayer dollars by keeping leaves out of landfills.”
IMPORTANT:
- Leaves, grass, brush and small branches MUST BE PLACED IN CLEAR OR PAPER BAGS
