The City of Williamsport’s Fall Leaf Collection began on Monday, October 6, 2025. Leaf collection will continue into December, weather permitting. Residents should place leaves along the curb line of the main streets, no alley pickup is possible due to equipment size used for the collection. All neighborhoods will be picked-up on an ongoing basis during this time. Please note that once a street has been cleared it will be at least 1 week until crews return to that area.

Residents should be reminded that the fall collection is for LEAVES ONLY – NO BRUSH PICKUP. Residents must separate leaves from all other materials including tree limbs, brush and yard waste as stated in City Ordinance 1152.07. Brush can jam and damage city equipment, especially when it is hidden beneath a pile of leaves, and it can significantly slow down operations. If you have currently placed brush on a street you need to remove it immediately. Leaf pick-up is a labor intensive task and resident cooperation on not placing debris with the leaves is essential to facilitate pickup prior to the start of the winter snow season. Leaf Collection is for loose leaves only, no leaves that are placed in plastic bags or any other container will be picked up.

Residents may also take leaves, yard debris and tree trimmings to the city mulch pile at any time located at the Public Services Building, 1550 West Third Street. The mulch pile is accessible to all City residents that obtain an access card for the Brush Recycling Center. Grass clippings are not accepted at this site at any time. The city also provides a Spring Yard Waste pickup in conjunction with Clean Earth Day each April.

For additional information or questions residents may have, please contact the Streets & Parks Department at 570-326-4684. Please do not call for special pick-ups as this will not be done.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we regret to announce that active Williamsport Firefighter Michael Bastian has passed away. Michael was hired on September 9, 2015 putting in just over 9 years of dedicated service to the city of Williamsport. Michael was a Lieutenant on “C” Platoon and a wealth of knowledge. He was one of the smartest and best Fireman we ever had. He was a State Fire Instructor, training countless Fireman over the years. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who loved the fire service as much as Michael did, you will surely be missed. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. R.I.P. Brother.
