The City of Henderson’s Loose Leaf Collection Season began the week of October 14, 2019, and will end January 17, 2020. During this period of time, it is permitted to place rows or piles of loose leaves or pine straw at the roadside for the City’s Public Works Department to collect. Please note that rows or piles of loose leaves or pine straw shall:
- Be placed behind the curb not to interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
- Not be placed in an open ditch, gutter or street area as this can interfere with the City’s storm drainage system.
- Be free of trash and debris such as glass, cans, rocks, limb cuttings, etc. as this may damage collection equipment.
- Not be placed on top of your water meter.
Loose leaves and pine straw will generally be picked up on a two or three-week rotation; however, this is dependent on weather conditions and leaf accumulation. You may continue to bag leaves or place them in a container during loose leaf season, however, it is not required.
If leaves or pine straw are placed at the curb in loose form before loose leaf season begins or after loose leaf season ends, a $75 charge will be added to your sanitation bill.
If you have any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at 252-431-6115 or 252-431-6030.
