MILWAUKEE, Wis. — As autumn leaves begin to fall across Milwaukee, homeowners are deciding between utilizing the city's leaf collection service or embracing a more natural composting method.

Milwaukee homeowners choose between city leaf collection and natural composting methods

The City of Milwaukee will collect leaves through November 15, providing residents with specific guidelines for proper disposal. Homeowners must rake leaves loose into the curb lane while leaving a 1-foot gap from the curb. Piles should remain clear of drains, grates, and low-hanging trees.

The city accepts only yard debris such as flowers and weeds, but excludes grass, pumpkins or bagged materials. The brush must be kept separate. For brush pickup, residents can call 414-286-CITY or visit the city's website.
