Street Sweeping
The Public Works Department’s Streets Maintenance Division manages the contract for weekly sweeping of the Downtown Pleasanton Business District streets, City parking lots and all other streets. Streets are swept once a month on a fixed schedule based on the day of the month (i.e. first Monday, second Thursday), not on a specific recurring date. Residents are encouraged to move their vehicles on street sweeping days to allow the contractor to sweep all areas.
For more information, please contact us at (925) 931-5500 or contact us.

Fall Storm Drain Maintenance
Ensuring Pleasanton’s Streets and Homes Stay Safe from Flooding
During the fall and winter months, more leaves naturally fall from trees and can accumulate along our streets. When leaves and debris build up in gutters, they can block storm drains and increase the risk of localized flooding during wet weather. To help reduce these impacts, the City of Pleasanton conducts seasonal leaf pickup from November through February.
During this period, Public Works crews collect leaves from public streets that have fallen from City-owned street trees before street sweeping occurs. This helps keep our storm drains clear and supports more effective street sweeping along City streets.
A Reminder About Yard Waste Disposal
The City’s Fall Storm Drain Maintenance program is not a residential curbside leaf pile collection service. This program is intended to address naturally fallen leaves from City street trees on public streets – not leaves or landscape material from private property. As City trees leaves may fall onto private property, the homeowner is responsible to manage all the leaves fall on the private property while the City manage the leaves on public right-of-way only.
To help keep storm drains clear and our neighborhoods clean, residents are asked to:
- Place all yard waste and tree trimmings in your green organics cart
- Ensure your landscaper follows proper disposal practices
- Avoid placing or blowing leaves and debris into the street or gutter
Per City of Pleasanton Municipal Code §9.08, placing leaves or yard waste in the public right-of-way is littering. Starting this year, the City is conducting enforcement and may issue Notices of Violation (NOVs) as a warning to properties that dispose of organic material in the street or gutter. After a Notice of Violation, residents who continue to improperly dispose of yard waste may receive a citation and fine.
Free Yard Waste Drop Off Day
Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS) is offering a free yard waste drop off at the PGS transfer station on Busch Road on Saturday, December 13, 2025. Residents can dispose of their yard waste at no charge at the PGS facility.
Need Help with Extra Yard Waste?
If you have more material than will fit in your organics cart, Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS) can assist. Residents may schedule up to three (3) free bulky item pickups per year. Contact PGS for additional information: (925) 846-2042.
