Fall in Whetstone: A quick reminder about leaves

by the Whetstone Board of Directors

One of the most beautiful things about living in Whetstone is our trees, especially in the fall! As the weather gets cooler, the leaves will begin to fall, and that means it’s time to start thinking about leaf cleanup.

Please remember:
Whetstone’s bulk leaf pickup is tentatively scheduled for the first week of December. If you rake your leaves now and leave them out for bulk pickup, they’ll sit for quite a while and likely blow around in the meantime, meaning you may have to rake them again.

Also, please do not pile leaves in the street. Doing so causes several problems:
• It narrows the road and creates serious safety hazards for both pedestrians and drivers.
• It takes up valuable parking spaces for residents.
• Rain can wash the leaves into storm drains, causing clogs and street flooding.
• Wind will scatter the leaves, creating a bigger mess.

What should you do instead? Please consider bagging your leaves in paper yard waste bags and setting them out for weekly pickup by recycling trucks each Thursday.

Let’s all do our part to keep Whetstone clean, safe, and beautiful this fall.
Reminder: Rake the Lake is scheduled for September 27, 2025.

Enjoy the fall colors, and Happy Fall, Y’all!..
