The City of Lockport is currently conducting its fall leaf pickup. This post will be updated daily with the latest information on crew operations and schedules.
Residents are urged to get as many of their leaves raked into the street as soon as possible, and to place them 6-8 inches off the curb to assist crews in the pickup.
Monday, Dec. 7
The leaf crew is on its third and final pass around the city. Streets are being done on an as-needed basis, so they will move pretty quickly as they continue around the city in a counterclockwise rotation. Any new leaf piles may not get picked up if they aren’t already out, so residents are urged to dispose of them in their garbage or compost them. A reminder that there is no spring leaf pickup. Thanks to all the residents who raked their leaves out early and placed them 6-8 inches off the curb.
