City pickup in Hillsboro
The city’s 2026 residential leaf collection runs from about Nov. 2 through Dec. 31, in four districts. District A, between South High Street and West Main Street, runs Nov. 2 to 13. District B, South High Street and East Main Street, runs Nov. 16 to 27. District C, North High Street and East Main Street, runs Nov. 30 to Dec. 11. District D, North High Street and West Main Street, runs Dec. 14 to 31.
Rake leaves into rows along the curb, on the grass plat, and not out into the street. Do not mix trash or branches in with the leaves, and keep the piles where crews can reach them. The city does not collect at apartment complexes, mobile home parks, private subdivisions or private roads. Burning leaves is against city ordinance.
