Oak and maple leaves come down from late October into December; the town leaf programs below run through that window. Attached housing changes the job: on a semi-detached or attached house a gutter run can be shared with the neighbor's, and rear-yard ladder access is often tighter than on a detached lot. Say whether the house is attached, semi-detached or detached, since that changes the access plan and whether the problem sits in one owner's gutter.
What gutter cleaning costs in New York
We have no written local reply for New York yet. A published starting price is not a quote for a two-story house with guards. Ask which structures, gutter levels, downspouts, access needs, cleanup, and fees the total includes. The cost decoder helps you check the answer.
When do Garden City, White Plains and Yonkers collect leaves?
Garden City
The village collects loose leaves from the curb each fall, section by section. The latest schedule it has posted, for 2023, started on November 6 in the Western Section and ran into December. Only leaves are taken: piles mixed with grass, branches or dirt stay, and leaves must not be in plastic bags. After the season, bagged leaves go out on your rubbish day (Village of Garden City, read 2026-09-26). Rake before your section's pickup week and the leaves can go out loose; after it, they need bags.
White Plains
The 2026 fall leaf collection runs from October 10 to December 5, weather permitting. Loose leaves are collected every 15 to 20 working days, and bagged leaves in paper bags or reusable containers every 7 to 10. Gas-powered leaf blowers are banned in the city (City of White Plains, read 2026-09-26), so ask any crew how it clears the gutters: by hand, by vacuum or with an electric blower.
Yonkers
From October 17 to December 12, leaves go to the curb in brown paper compost bags or open containers on your recycling day, and the Refuse Collection Division sends a second truck for the leaves (City of Yonkers, read 2026-09-26). Leaves in plastic bags do not fit the rule, so have paper bags ready for yard leaves raked after a gutter visit.
