Request leaf or litter sweeping
Before you start, things you need to know:
We don't clear litter on private land the landowner should be contacted for this.
Details can be given to our enforcement team to be looked into.
If the litter is on Wakefield District Housing (WDH) land you need to contact them on 03458 507 507.
Clearing leaves
The loss of leaves from trees in Autumn is part of the natural cycle and cannot be stopped by pruning. Extra teams work in the Autumn to clear fallen leaves.
- we will not prune or fell a tree managed by us to remove or reduce leaf fall
- we will not remove fallen leaves from private property
- parks, green spaces, and paths are regularly cleared of fallen leaves
- leaves on grass and shrub beds are left until most leaves have fallen before they are removed
Before you start, you will need to tell us:
- where the problem is (e.g.: outside No.10 Church Road not just Church Road)
