Fall Curbside Leaf Collection

Here are a few things you need to know:

Over the several weeks, we’ll be doing two full circuits, meaning we’ll be visiting each street twice.
The last date for the curbside leaf collection is Friday, December 8.
If you see us on your street on a day that is not on the schedule, don’t worry we’ll be back on the pre-scheduled day, unless notified. This means we are ahead of schedule or are doing an extra pass through!
SOCRRA accepts leaf drop-off through December 18. For more information, visit: socrra.org.
If you see your neighbors, help us spread the word and give them a friendly reminder to get their leaves ready and to remove their vehicles from the street!

Find out when we’ll be coming to your neighborhood.

If you have any questions, please call us at 248.246.3300.

Residential Lock Boxes Available at the Fire Department

The Royal Oak Fire Department’s residential lockbox program is designed to get quick access to adults living in their own homes during medical emergencies -- especially senior citizens. When every second counts, the lockbox -- which contains a key to your home -- reduces the likelihood of property damage caused by first responders forcing entry into your home in response to an emergency call.
