The municipality of Livonia provides a seasonal service dedicated to the collection of fallen foliage from residential properties. This program involves a coordinated effort to remove leaves from curb lines throughout the city, typically during the autumn months. Residents are expected to rake leaves to the edge of their yards, facilitating the collection process via specialized equipment and municipal staff.
Effective management of fallen leaves prevents potential drainage issues caused by blocked storm drains and contributes to overall community aesthetics. Furthermore, removing accumulated leaves mitigates potential fire hazards and discourages the harboring of pests. Historically, such programs have been implemented to maintain public health, safety, and property values within the city.
