Lancaster County has the fourth highest rate of childhood lead poisoning in Pennsylvania.
Leaves that fall onto sidewalks or city streets will be collected by street sweepers, but leaves that fall in residents' yards must be bagged for collection.LANCASTER, Pa. — The City of Lancaster announced Tuesday that its Department of Public Works is set to begin leaf collection for the season.
Yard waste and bagged leaf collection occurs throughout the year on designated weeks. Residents can place yard waste, including leaves, alongside their regular trash for pick-up on their scheduled trash collection day, as indicated in the annual collection schedule. All leaves from private properties must be securely bagged in yard waste bags, according to the city. Residents can pick up free yard waste bags from several convenient locations, including the Recycling Drop-Off Center and various municipal offices within the city. These locations are listed on the City website.
"It's important to note that yard waste, including leaves, collected through this program is sent for composting. However, leaves collected in the street cannot be composted due to contamination," the city said.
