Curbside Leaf Collection Starts November 1, 2009 and Ends Friday, Jan. 30, 2009.
Call 704-878-3415 if you have leaves that need picking up.
Each Fall the City of Statesville provides curbside leaf collection using special equipment to pick up loose leaves placed on the curb.
Weekly notification of where the trucks are working is posted on the city government channel on cable channel 20, and on the web.
Loose leaves can be raked and piled on the curb. A city ordinance prohibits loose leaves from extending into the street or onto sidewalks so as to impede traffic. The leaves should not cover water meters or fire hydrants.
The city cannot collect loose leaves that contain limbs, debris and other materials. Ideally, leaves bagged, boxed, or placed in a container are the easiest to collect.
Leaves and yard debris should not be in the same container with regular trash items. These are collected and disposed of separately.
The leaf crews cover the entire city before returning to an area. Leaves are not picked up on the same schedule as the garbage and recycling collection schedules. Temporary workers are hired during leaf season to make sure that no sanitation services are affected by the leaf collection. An area is served about three times during a four-month period.
To serve Statesville residents efficiently, the City is divided into four sections with leaf collection schedules for each. Weather, work load, and holidays may alter the schedule.
