Yard Waste Collection Begins Monday, March 30, 2020
Leesburg residents will have yard waste collected every Monday through
November.
Leesburg, VA (March 27, 2020) – Beginning Monday, March
30, 2020, Patriot Disposal Services will begin to collect yard
waste for those living within the corporate limits of the
Town of Leesburg, every Monday.
Collection will begin a week early due to the high volume of
yard waste. Please note, this service could be suspended, if
needed, due to staffing of our haulers and Coronavirus
updates. People should keep an eye on social media and the
Town’s website, www.leesburgva.gov, in case we would
have to suspend this service.
Until then, a maximum of 10 bags (or 10 properly marked
trash cans) will be picked up at each residents home per
week. No exceptions.
Yard waste is limited to grass clippings, leaves, weeds and
small twigs and must be placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the day of collection, in
biodegradable paper bags or in cans clearly marked as yard waste. The Town of Leesburg will
provide residents with free “Yard Waste” stickers for this purpose. Residents can request
stickers by calling 703-771-2790 or emailing trash@leesburgva.gov.
Residents are being asked to mulch their grass clippings into their yards to minimize the yard
waste volume. The following additional restrictions apply to yard waste:
No plastic bags or boxes.
Do not mix yard waste with trash or recycling.
