Leesburg Begins Fall Curbside Bulk Leaf Collection on Monday,
October 15, 2018
Leesburg, VA (September 21, 2018) – Leesburg’s annual fall bulk leaf collection will start on
Monday, October 15, 2018. Residents are asked to follow these guidelines for the collection of
fall leaves:
Do not rake leaves in front of or into storm
drain.
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 a
week. Inclement weather or a heavy fall of leaves may delay collection.
Final leaf pickup for the season will be on Monday, December 31, 2018. 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 collection. Leaves in plastic bags will be collected as
trash.
