Leaf Collection RemindersAs the autumn leaves begin to fall, the City of Wheaton reminds you of the ways you can properly dispose of leaves. - Place leaves in containers 35 gallons in size or smaller, or in biodegradable bags.
- Containers or bags must weigh less than 50 pounds when filled.
- Each container or bag requires an LRS yard waste/organics/excess garbage sticker, available at City Hall and at many local grocery and hardware stores.
- When you’re cleaning up leaves, please be careful not to blow or rake them into the streets. Doing so can prevent storm sewers from functioning properly and can lead to flooding. If your house is located near a storm sewer catch basin, please help keep it clear by sweeping away leaves and debris from the sewer grate.
- Burning leaves is not allowed.
- LRS collects yard waste, food scraps and organic materials on your garbage day through the second full week of December.
For more information, visit the City's website.

How to #RecycleRight with PlasticsJust because it's made from plastic doesn't mean it can go in your recycling bin. You can #RecycleRight by keeping items like these OUT of your curbside recycling: - Plastic bags
- Toys, such as bath toys and plastic balls
- Cords containing plastic
- Diapers
- Buckets
Items that CAN be recycled are typically containers made from plastic #1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7, such as water bottles, milk jugs, margarine tubs, ketchup bottles, and beauty product containers. See the City's website for more items you can/can't recycle.
