FAQ

  • Homeowners DO NOT need to be home when volunteers come to rake their yard.
  • Homeowners will need to provide leaf bags for volunteers if they live in Stevens Point and any other municipality excluding Plover. They should check with their municipality for requirements.
  • If homeowners live on a private road or development site, their municipality may not provide leaf pick up at their residence and residents will need to make their own arrangements for leaf disposal.
