Pere Marquette Charter Township is happy to be able to offer you at-home leaf pick-up services. This service is designed for homeowners’ yard maintenance, not for major projects or commercial properties. Here’s how it works: For a small annual fee, we will collect your leaves with our leaf-vacuum truck. Sounds easy? It is! But we need your help to make collection efficient for the Township employees, too.

 

LEAVES: We normally collect leaves in the fall with a leaf-vacuum truck. You’ll need to pile the leaves as near to the roadway as you can, because the vacuum hose isn’t very long (just like your household vacuum never quite reaches where you need it!). This is done weekly from the time the leaves start falling until the first snowfall. If weather permits, you’ll also benefit from an early-bird sign up bonus – the crew will also do a pick up in the spring.

 

The Leaf Pick-up Fee is $40.00 for the calendar year. Less than you'd pay a couple of teenagers for an afternoon! Residents may also sign up for Brush Removal ($40. per calendar year). Both services for $80. Check our Brush Removal page for details on that service.
