Bulk Leaf Collection Resumes October 15, 2019
Leesburg, VA (September 30, 2019) – Leesburg’s annual fall bulk leaf collection will start on
Tuesday, October 15. Residents are asked to follow these guidelines for the collection of fall
leaves:
Do not rake leaves in front of or into storm
drains.
Please rake leaves not more than four feet
from the edge of the curb by Sunday
evening.
On streets without curb and gutter, place
leaves as close as possible to the front
property line, closest to the street.
Do not park vehicles or place equipment or
toys in or around the leaves.
Do not rake leaves in front of or around fire hydrants or utility boxes.
Do not mix grass clippings, yard waste or other brush items with the leaves. Yard waste
should be placed in brown paper yard waste bags or in containers with "yard waste"
stickers and placed out for collection on Mondays.
There is not a set schedule to collect leaves on specific days for any particular street or
neighborhood within a quadrant, but the goal is to collect leaves from every street once every 5
to 10 business days. Inclement weather or a heavy fall of leaves may delay collection; refer to
the Town website for more information and schedule updates.
Final leaf pickup for the season will be on Monday, December 30 and will include leaf piles
placed at the curb no later than 7 a.m. that day. After this date, leaves must be set out in yard
waste cans with handles or biodegradable paper yard waste bags. Leaves in plastic bags will be
collected as trash.
