Annual Leaf Drop-Off at City Hall Set for Nov. 20

Truckbed full of leaves backed up to dumpster

October 28, 2021 — The City of Wilsonville, in partnership with Republic Services, is hosting its annual Leaf Drop-Off Day on Saturday, Nov. 20, 9 am–2 pm.

Wilsonville residents are invited to drop-off leaves only — no other yard debris, please! — at the City Hall parking lot, 29799 SW Town Center Loop East.

City Public Works staff will be on hand to provide guidance, but participants must be able to offload leaves without assistance into large dumpsters provided by Republic Services. Motorists must wear masks and follow any additional COVID-19 safety protocols as directed.

The City recommends that residents gather leaves in large, recyclable paper bags that are available from most hardware stores; plastic bags are non-recyclable and should be avoided.

The annual leaf collection is a component of Republic Services’ franchise agreement for solid-waste collection and disposal services with the City. In lieu of requesting payment, the City encourages residents to make a cash or check donation to Wilsonville Community Sharing, operator of Wilsonville’s community food bank and social-services referral agency.

Raking or blowing fall leaves, grass clippings or any other yard debris onto streets violates City Code. Leaves on roadways clog storm drains because they cannot be removed effectively by street sweepers. Leaves on streets can also compromise the safety of motorists and bike riders, whose tires may slip on wet leaves.
