Leaf Collection


Leaves are picked up in Mt. Lebanon weekly beginning in October and continuing through the week of Thanksgiving. Should public works decide to extend leaf collection, a LeboAlert will be sent. Do not place leaves in the street after leaf collection has ended. Any remaining leaves must be bagged and placed at the curb for regular garbage pick up. The 15 bags/items limit, including trash, still applies.

Leaf pickup is one day prior to your regular garbage collection day, rake leaves into the street the day before pickup day. To reduce leaf accumulation in streets, please refrain from raking leaves into the street immediately after the collection truck has passed. If you rake leaves several days before pickup, store leaves in your yard, behind the curb and not in the street. Poor weather conditions, such as snow or rain, may delay pickup— please be patient. Print the collection schedule for easy reference.

Advice for Residents of Dead-End Streets

It is not feasible to reach all locations with a vacuum truck. Dead-end streets offer limited turning room and high-traffic main streets are too busy to permit vacuum collection. Residents of these areas are advised to bag their leaves for Saturday collection each week. Bags must be at the curb prior to 7 a.m.

If you are not sure which policy applies to you, call the Public Works Department at (412) 343-3403. Please be advised that poor weather conditions, such as snow and rain, may delay pickup. Watch Comcast Channel 17 or Verizon Channel 34 for revisions to the schedule.

Leaf Collection Recycling



The leaves are vacuumed from the municipal streets. After the leaf service has ended, the leaves are shredded and hauled away by contractors, and composted outside of Mt. Lebanon.
