Leaf Pickup 2025
Leaf Vacuum Collection is Underway in Dallas Township
Our Road Department is out with the Township’s leaf vacuum, collecting organized leaf piles placed along the curb at the edge of your property on Township roadways.
Please remember: our crew works hard to keep gutters and storm drains clear to ensure proper stormwater flow. Do not rake, push, or blow leaves into the roadway or over drains, as this can cause blockages, flooding, and hazardous driving conditions.
There is no set schedule. Crews work one area (or quadrant) at a time, then move on to the next. They’re typically out 2-3 times a week, weather permitting. This rotating collection cycle continues through the fall season and will repeat in each section as long as weather conditions allow. Multiple passes are planned across all neighborhoods, but timing depends on weather and the volume of leaves. Crews will continue until winter weather or freezing conditions end the collection season.
Leaf Placement Guidelines:
To help our crews work safely and efficiently:
• Place leaves curbside – at the edge of your property, not in the street.
• Keep piles free of sticks, stones, and trash.
• Avoid blocking piles with parked vehicles, mailboxes, or trash cans.
Bagged Leaf Pick-Up Program
Dallas Township will begin curbside collection of bagged leaves starting the week of November 10th, 2025. Crews will collect from all residential properties located along township, county, and state roadways.
To help ensure a smooth and efficient process, please follow these guidelines:
• Use biodegradable paper composting bags only.
• Plastic bags will not be accepted — let’s work together to keep our community clean and environmentally friendly.
• Place bags curbside in a visible location for easy pickup.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to keep Dallas Township looking its best this fall!

Dallas Township and TextMyGov
Dallas Township is pleased to announce the launch of TextMyGov, a new text messaging service designed to keep residents informed with timely and relevant information directly affecting our community.
The TextMyGov text alert system will officially launch during the week of May 20th, 2024. You may receive a text notification from 91896. This will be a legitimate text from Dallas Township.
If you do not receive an initial text message, you can choose to opt in by texting “DALLASTWPPA” to 91896. After sending an initial keyword, users will be asked to reply to the confirmation with a “YES” to opt-in for notifications.
Users may opt out of future alerts at any time by texting STOP to 91896.
Dallas Township is excited to offer this new way of communicating with residents and looks forward to sharing important notifications with you in the future.
