Leaf Collection 2026

October 21, 2026

Jefferson Township's 2026 Leaf Collection Program begins Monday, November 2, with an earlier start and a more flexible approach to serving our community. The Road Department will work through three designated collection zones on a rotating schedule, allowing crews to respond to changing weather conditions and leaf volume while maintaining other essential road services. Residents can use our online street directory to identify their collection zone and follow updates on collection progress throughout the season. Our goal is to provide efficient, reliable service while keeping residents informed every step of the way.
