Leaf Collection Guidelines
This is a free service available in the fall, November through January or until all leaves are collected. No phone call is necessary. Please rake leaf piles curbside being careful not to pile them in the street, near fire hydrants or next to trees. Leaf piles should be free of sticks and rocks.
NOTE: Inclement weather can impact the dates listed above. Residents will be notified if schedule changes are made.
Other Options
- Residents may choose to bag their leaves; however, the leaves must be placed in the blue pre-paid trash bags and placed curbside along with regular trash on the designated collection days anytime during the year.
- Save time and money! Compost Your Leaves. Leaves are an excellent source for compost.
- Residents may take bagged leaves (not in pre-paid blue trash bags) directly to the Concord Turnpike Landfill (included in the "500 pounds free per month" guideline for City residents).
