The Village of South Russell does not offer curbside leaf collection service. If you see leaves at the street in your neighborhood, they were most likely put there by a privately hired landscaping company that will be back to pick them up.​ Leaves brought to the roadside by residents or landscapers must remain on tree lawns and off the roadway. Residents should make sure that leaves are cleared of and not blocking storm drains, driveway culvert pipes and ditches that could cause backups and minor flooding issues during heavy rains.
