Noblesville is home for us. Sprout started here, and in the fall our trailers are working from the Old Town streets near Logan Street out to the newer developments past Hazel Dell. The hardwoods near Forest Park and along Pleasant Street drop a lot of leaves, and those yards usually need more than one visit.
We clear the lawn and the beds, then haul everything away the same day. Here's how that compares with handling it yourself under Noblesville's leaf pickup rules.
The city runs both bagged and loose leaf pickup from October 12 through December 11, 2026. Bagged leaves have to go in the free compostable bags the city provides at fire stations, City Hall, the Parks Department, and the Street Department. Bags go between the street and the sidewalk on trash day, 40 pounds max, and there's no alley pickup.
For loose leaves, rake them to the edge of the street, not into it, and keep them separate from brush. The vacuum trucks run a continuous loop that takes about four weeks to cover the city, so a pile can sit at the curb a while. After December 11 the city asks residents to bag.
Burning isn't an option. Noblesville's open burning ordinance bans burning leaves and yard waste anywhere in city limits.
We clear leaves from the lawn and the beds. Everything leaves with us the same day. Gutter cleaning is available on request. Purdue's turf team says to remove leaves once you can't see the grass under them, so heavily wooded lots do better with recurring visits from late October into December.

No. Noblesville's open burning ordinance bans burning leaves and yard waste within city limits.
Our fall cleanups typically run $200 to $600 for a standard residential property, and leaf removal typically runs $150 to $500 per visit, depending on lot size and tree cover. Heavily wooded lots cost more because of the volume.
One-time cleanups or recurring leaf removal from late October into December. We haul everything away the same day.
