Loose Leaf Collection
The City began loose leaf collections on Monday, October 21, 2024. Keep these tips in mind:
π Place leaves at the curb in front of your residence, just behind the curb. Residents are asked to please refrain from placing leaves/debris on sidewalks or in the streets.
π Turns out, our trucks arenβt fans of sticksβtheyβre leaf-eating machines, not branch-breaking warriors! Letβs help them out by keeping it strictly leaves.
π Bagged leaves will be picked-up along with your πππππππ πππππππ ππππππππππ, eliminating the need to wait for leaf collector trucks.
π Bags are available at the Customer Service office, Statesville Fitness & Activity Center, or the Bentley Community Center.
See where trucks are today, determine your collection area, or learn more about Leaf + Yard Waste Collection here.
