The City of Raleigh loose leaf curbside collection for 2013-2014 will begin Nov.13.

Collections will be made citywide once before and after the Christmas holiday. The City’s leaf collection vacuum equipment moves very quickly and requires residents to have their leaves prepared properly and placed curbside prior to the crews working in their area. Leaves put out after the equipment has passed will not be picked up until the next scheduled collection. Leaf piles must be placed curbside no later than 7:00 a.m. on the first day for collection in the zone. Leaf piles should be placed at the curb away from any obstructions such as vehicles, water meters and mail boxes. Area residents are encouraged to begin raking their loose leaves to the curb. Visit the City of Raleigh website to check this year’s schedule of when crews will be in your neighborhood and procedures to follow to prepare your loose leaves properly.

The City of Raleigh offers residents several opportunities to have their loose leaves collected and several ways to obtain collection updates. Residents may get program updates by calling the automated leaf line at 919-996-3720, tuning in to Time Warner cable channel 97.6 or channel 22 and by visiting the City’s website. The City of Raleigh website offers the most detailed information including the collection schedule and in what section residents are located. Information is available on the City of Raleigh website at www.raleighnc.gov, enter leaf update in the search window to access a link to the Leaf Collection page. Raleigh residents may find their collection section by clicking on the services tab at the top of the home page and entering their address under My Raleigh Services in the lower right corner.

Residents receiving loose leaf curbside service also may have their leaves picked up year-round on their scheduled yard waste collection day. Leaves must be placed in clear plastic bags, paper bags, or permanent containers. Permanent containers with lifting handles, such as a plastic or metal garbage can, can be no larger than 35 gallons and weigh no more than 75 pounds. In addition, residents may take their yard waste to the City of Raleigh Yard Waste Recycling Center located at 900 North New Hope Road.
