City of Greensboro issued the following announcement on Nov. 1.
The City’s annual loose leaf collection program will take place from November 7 through January 27, 2023.
Two collection periods are scheduled. Leaves that are curbside by November 7 will be picked up by December 22. Leaves that are curbside by December 28 will be picked up by January 27.
It’s easy to use the loose leaf collection program. Residents should follow these guidelines:
– Rake leaves to the edge of your yard behind the curb – not in the street.
– Remove sticks, rocks, and other debris that may damage City equipment.
– Do not park vehicles on, in front of, or near leaves.
The collected leaves are made into compost to fertilize City gardens and landscaped areas. Residents may purchase the compost for $20 per truckload at the White Street Landfill, 2503 White St.
Residents may also use the City’s year-round yard waste program to dispose of leaves. Put them at the curb in clear plastic bags or a plastic or metal garbage can on your regular trash collection day.
The leaf collection schedule may change due to inclement weather. The City doesn’t collect loose leaves on private streets. For more information, call 336-373-CITY (2489).
