Marquette, MI, October 26, 2026 —
Marquette is reminding residents to place leaves behind the curb line, not in the street, as the community prepares for its fall collection schedule. The placement instruction is intended to help avoid storm drain blockages and flooding.
Brush collection is scheduled for Oct. 26-30. Leaf collection is scheduled to follow, from Nov. 2-13. The information provided does not specify a year for those dates.
The reminder draws a distinction between where leaves should be placed and where they should not be: residents are instructed to keep leaves behind the curb line and out of the street. The stated concern is that leaves in the street could block storm drains and contribute to flooding.
The announcement provides the collection windows but does not include additional details about how residents should prepare brush, whether collection follows a neighborhood-by-neighborhood route, or what residents should do if material is not collected during the listed period. It also does not identify a contact for questions or specify whether the schedule may change.
Residents planning for fall cleanup can note the two listed periods: brush collection from Oct. 26-30, followed by leaf collection from Nov. 2-13. The reminder emphasizes keeping leaves behind the curb line rather than placing them in the street.
