Leaf Pick Up Begins Oct. 15

Leaves need to be on the terrace by 7 a.m. the day of your leaf pick up.

It’s that time of year again.

The leaves are turning bright colors and the smells of apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice are strong at area coffee shops.

Baseball is almost over and football is in full swing.

And the city’s going to start collecting leaves soon.

The first scheduled leaf pick up in Waukesha is Oct. 15. A schedule is attached. If you don’t know what district you are in, check this map.


The city is requesting that leaves be raked to the terrace area by 7 a.m. the day of leaf pick up. Leaves should not be raked into the gutter as that violates city ordinances.

Residents are also prohibited from burning leaves in Waukesha. The city is also encouraging the mulching of leaves.

For more information, call 262-524-3600.

I am hoping this year that people recognized the difference between the street and the terrace area. I see so many people raking and blowing leaves into the street

Are the signs for leaf pickup placed in the correct areas? We had signs in the 6th Aldermanic District stating that the leaf pickup would be on Oct. 16th. The paper has it for Oct.23rd. The problem is that we are in Ward 14, Aldermanic District 6, and not in Aldermanic District 12 & 14. The signs and the placement of them are very confusing.

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.
