Leesburg Begins Fall Bulk Leaf Collection On
Monday, October 24, 2011
Non-bagged leaves will be collected curbside in all residential areas
through the week of December 26, 2011.
Leesburg, VA (October 12, 2011) – The Town of Leesburg’s Public Works Department will begin
its annual fall bulk leaf collection schedule on Monday, October 24, 2011. Crews will collect
non-bagged leaves placed at the curb in all quadrants of the Town throughout the leaf season.
Residents are asked to follow these guidelines:
• Please rake leaves not more than four feet from the edge of the curb by Sunday evening
of each collection week.
• 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 storm drain inlets.
• 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.
Leaves will be collected from each quadrant of the Town at least once a week. The day of the
week that leaves will be collected in a particular neighborhood may vary through the leaf
season.
Final leaf pickup for the season is scheduled for the week of December 26 through December
30, 2011. Inclement weather (heavy rain or snow) may extend the collection period. Once fall
bulk leaf collection has ended, all leaves must be set out in covered trash cans with handles or
biodegradable paper yard waste bags for pickup on normal recycling collection days.
