MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee residents have until the end of the day Sunday, Nov. 29 to rake or bag leaves for collection by the Department of Public Works. They extended the original Nov. 15 deadline because of a late leaf drop, according to a Wednesday, Nov. 11 press release.

After Nov. 29, crews will start the final collection cycle, which takes two to three weeks to cover the city, DPW says.

The final pass for neighborhoods will come anywhere from Nov. 30 to the second or third week of December, though snow operations could potentially cause delays.

Residents who think leaves were missed in an area marked complete on the map can call (414) 286-2489, submit a request at milwaukee.gov/click4action or use the MKE Mobile Action app.

DPW asks residents to rake leaves loosely into the curb lane with a 1-foot gap from the curb and to keep piles away from storm drains. Grass clippings, pumpkins and litter should not go in the piles. Bagging is optional, but only paper yard waste bags are allowed. Leaves and yard waste cannot go in garbage or recycling carts.
