🍂 November is here, York! Mayor Sandie Walker has a new monthly message with important city updates, upcoming community events, and opportunities to connect throughout the month.
From the start of annual leaf collection and a free diaper giveaway to honoring our veterans, celebrating America250 with a Kids Sneaker Ball, and enjoying a night of professional wrestling, there is plenty happening across the City of York this November!
📅 Here’s what you need to know:
1)🍂 Annual Citywide Leaf Collection
Dates: Monday, November 2 – Week of December 14, 2026
Details: The City of York Department of Public Works will begin its annual leaf collection program on November 2. Residents should place leaves at the curb no later than December 14 to allow crews to complete final collections that week.
Collection Guidelines:
- Leaves only — no grass, brush, or branches.
- Maintain a 6–8 inch gap between leaf piles and the curb for stormwater drainage.
- Keep storm drains clear of leaves.
- Do not park vehicles on leaf piles.
Crews will make multiple passes through neighborhoods throughout the collection period. There is no fixed collection schedule, and weather may affect pickup times.
