Happy Halloween!

We hope your costumes are spooky, your candy bowls are full, and your pumpkins are glowing bright!

Just a friendly reminder: Royal Oak does not set official trick-or-treat hours. It’s up to each household and parent’s discretion. In general, a porch light turned on during Halloween evening is a universal sign that trick-or-treaters are welcome.

Here are a few quick safety tips for a frightfully fun night:

Choose costumes that are short enough to prevent trips or tangles — and avoid flammable materials.
Give kids flashlights, reflective wristbands or belts, or glow sticks to help them be seen.
Keep decorations like dried flowers and cornstalks away from open flames and heat sources.
Use flashlights or battery-operated candles inside your jack-o-lanterns — they’re much safer than real flames.

Have a safe, sweet, and spooky Halloween, Royal Oak!

Curbside Leaf Collection Begins Monday

Looking for something to do this weekend? If you live south of 12 Mile, it’s the perfect time to burn off those extra Halloween candy calories by raking leaves!

Check the map above to see when crews will be in your neighborhood.
Keep cars off the street when No Parking signs are up — our leaf trucks need room to work! (Note: 'No Parking Signs' for Monday's collection area will be placed on Friday.)
And please—leaves only! Sticks, rocks, and debris can damage the vacuums and slow everything down.
Or skip the raking marathon altogether and “Leave the Leaves” in your garden beds! They make great natural mulch and a cozy winter home for pollinators.

Whether you rake or reuse, let’s keep Royal Oak beautiful this fall!
