MILWAUKEE – City of Milwaukee residents may rake their leaves into the curb lanes beginning Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023 and ending Sunday, Nov. 15.

The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) will begin collecting leaves the week of Oct. 16. Officials say leaf rake out ends on Sunday, Nov. 15, unless the seasonal leaf dropped is delayed. If that is the case, DPW will extend the deadline to provide residents enough time to rake leaves to the curb.

A news release says once the deadline is established, the city will conduct one final collection sweep. To ensure collection, please make sure your leaves are raked out to the curb by the deadline.

Fall leaf collection tips

Rake leaves loose into the curb lane. Leave a 1-foot gap between the leaves and the curb.This gap helps ensure the equipment can collect all the leaves and protects the equipment from being damaged and helps prevent flooding by allowing storm water to move to the storm drains.
This gap helps ensure the equipment can collect all the leaves and protects the equipment from being damaged and helps prevent flooding by allowing storm water to move to the storm drains.
Keep piles away from sewer grates, storm drains, and low-hanging trees.
Include yard debris such as flowers, garden trimmings, and weeds on top of leaf piles.
Do not include grass clippings, pumpkins, litter, or bagged material.
Do not put brush in the leaf piles. Keep brush separate and located between the curb and sidewalk. Call 414-286-CITY or request a brush collection online.
After the collection deadline, take your leaves and yard debris to the Drop Off Centers up to 6 cubic yards without fees.

Leaves and brush, along with other yard waste, are banned from landfills and must not be placed in garbage or recycling carts. DPW collects leaves, brush and yard waste separately from garbage and composts it, which conserves natural resources while saving the City money. Residents are also encouraged to mulch leaves on their lawns or compost on site. This saves time and money while adding nutrients to the soil.

For more information – including how to find your leaf collection schedule, call 414-286-CITY (-2489) or visit the DPW website at milwaukee.gov/leaves.

'This is my pub': Packers Fans fill Moran’s in South Milwaukee for Thanksgiving watch party

SOUTH MILWAUKEE — It was all about the Packers Thursday night at Moran’s Pub on Thanksgiving. Dozens of fans spent the end of the holiday cheering on Green Bay as they took on the Miami Dolphins.

Moran’s invited TMJ4 to check out their special watch party and soak in the atmosphere.

Deanna Olson, a devoted fan, referred to the pub as her home. “This is my pub,” she said. “This is my hometown, South Milwaukee, born and raised. I live here, I love it, and I always cheer on my Packers. I’ve got to bring Grandpa’s flag, and here we are.”

That flag has become a lucky fashion statement of sorts for Olson.

“We went ahead and put this on as an ascot, and then we beat the Bears, so the ascot has to come back,” she said.

Olson wasn’t the only fan relying on a good luck charm Thursday night.

“I always have my Packer purse. Always during Packer season, I’ve got to make sure that I carry this,” said Katie “Grammy” Hilpert.

Hilpert was joined by her daughter and granddaughter. Together, they bleed Green and Gold. Moran’s is her go-to pub, making the game even more enjoyable.

“Oh, they’re my boys. I’m very thankful because they have had a little better of a season, but we’ll take what we can get,” said Hilpert.

During the game, fans had the chance to play games and participate in raffles.

Both Hilpert’s and Olson’s lucky charms paid off as the Packers secured the win.

While Hilpert was grateful to cheer on her beloved Packers this holiday, simply coming together at the pub was already a guaranteed victory.

“What are you thankful for?” asked TMJ4’s Mike Beiermeister.

“Grandchildren, children. Life in general is really good, really good right now,” Hilpert replied, embodying the spirit of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day.
